LG Beowulf

✚ A hgh yielding feed wheat with good physical grain quality

✚ Good all-round disease resistance and midge resistance

Variety Positioning

• A new addition to the UK Recommended List with very high yields in Agrii trials in 2023 (105% treated, 92% untreated) with very bold grain (78.3 kg/hl, AHDB). 

• Suitable across the UK excluding areas of high sterility risk until more information is available.

• It can be grown across heavy and light soils and has a wide drilling window from mid-September through to the end of January. It is also an acceptable second wheat choice. 

• A high tillering variety that is relatively tall (90 cm) and reasonably stiff straw both treated (7.5) (7) and untreated (8.1) (6).

• It’s competitiveness against grass weeds is still under evaluation and it has mid-late maturity (+2) (+3). 

• A good set of disease scores for mildew (6.1), yellow rust (8.9) (9.0) and Septoria tritici (6.7) (6.8) but weaker against brown rust (4.7) (3.8) and moderately resistant to fusarium ear blight (6.3) and eyespot (5.6).

• It is also resistant to orange wheat blossom midge.
