on the breeder and on the name of the agent.

AGASSY
()
|
Maisadour Semences;
-
This medium height early maturing variety has a high yield potential when open grown, forms a good starch content and delivers a high ME yield.
|
|
Artist
(S)
|
Limagrain ;
-
A relatively short variety with a high starch content that ensures a good starch yield. This variety is specifically recommended for sowing in milder sites to allow potential for higher DM yield and content to be achieved.
|
|
Crescendo
()
|
Limagrain ;
-
A robust and reliable early maturing variety that has a good yield potential in open trials, particularly when growing conditions are limiting.
|
|
KARIMBO
(S)
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
A relatively early and short growing bold type variety that develops a good starch content and high starch yield. Specifically recommended for more favourable sites due to the indication from the DM yield and ME figures.
|
|
Karriol
(P)
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
This variety is provisionally recommended for both systems where it produces high DM, starch and ME yields in the open and provisionally the highest starch and ME yields under plastic.
|
|
KAUKAS
()
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
Bold Type recommended for both systems. This relatively early, slightly above average height variety produces the highest starch yields in the open plus among the Bold types under plastic has the highest starch and good total yields.
|
|
Kougar
()
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
This is a short early maturing variety which can produce a very high starch yield with good starch content in the open as well as a high DM yield and ME yield.
|
|
KROESUS
()
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
A tall variety that produces high DM yields particularly in the open, where it is highest yielding. It requires good growing conditions to fully mature and so will perform best under plastic or on milder sites in the open.
|
|
Lapriora
(P)
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
A new provisional recommendation, this relatively short variety delivers provisionally the highest total starch yields with very high starch content in the open.
|
|
LEEDS
()
|
Maisadour Semences;
-
This variety has a high DM yield with good DM content and a high ME yield in the open but careful management on a favourable site is required to avoid over maturity lodging.
|
|
Sapphire
()
|
Limagrain ;
-
Achieves close to the target DM and starch content when grown in the open under a range of average conditions and delivers similar total, starch and ME yields, typical of other Plain Type recommended varieties.
|
|
SURPRISE
()
|
Saaten Union (UK) Ltd.;
-
Bold type recommended for both open and plastic systems. In the open it delivers very high starch yields, though its DM content will benefit from milder conditions. Under plastic it easily matures out to a high DM% and a very high starch content, indicating its suitability for less favoured sites.
|
|
Vivacity
(P)
|
Limagrain ;
-
An early maturing short variety this new provisional recommendation can deliver good DM content and a high starch yield with good starch content.
