Variety descriptions are in alphabetical order. Information is also given
on the breeder and on the name of the agent.
|
ANVIL
()
|
Limagrain ;
-
Under a plastic system it matures early to give one of the higher DM% and starch contents which when combined with its yield potential produces high starch and ME yields.
|
|
AWARD
()
|
Limagrain ;
-
An average height, average maturing variety that delivers high yields in all categories, with a good starch content.
|
|
Benicia
(S)
|
Pioneer ;
-
The latest maturing variety with an extremely high DM yield potential, is specifically recommended only for early sowing under plastic in very mild regions to ensure the crop fully matures.
|
|
Gladi CS
()
|
Caussade Semences;
-
This variety is of an average height and delivers good DM and ME yields with very good DM and starch contents.
|
|
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.
|
|
KLAYMORE
()
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
Recommended for plastic use, this tall variety matures quickly to similarly high dry matter, starch and ME contents that indicate a robust capability to retain good DM and starch yields when conditions are not ideal.
|
|
Klifton
(O)
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
A tall variety, now outclassed due to having below average DM, starch and ME yields.
|
|
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.
|
|
Mas 08G
()
|
Maisadour Semences;
-
An early maturing, relatively short variety which can give high DM yields under plastic at very high DM content as well as a high starch content and yield and a high ME yield.
|
|
Mas 10C
()
|
Maisadour Semences;
-
An early silking, relatively tall variety which can give very high DM, starch and ME yields under plastic with a high DM and starch content.
|
|
MAS 12A
()
|
Maisadour Semences;
-
An early maturing, average height variety. Recommended for sowing under plastic where it dries off easily with a very high starch content that creates impressive total and ME production levels.
|
|
Nescio
(O)
|
Limagrain ;
-
This short variety has below average total DM, starch and ME yields and is now outclassed
|
|
NK Jasmic
()
|
Syngenta ;
-
A tall variety, this recommendation produces very high total and ME yields and a good starch content under plastic. Its DM content indicates a requirement for good conditions to support full maturity at harvest.
|
|
PADDY
()
|
Syngenta ;
-
This fully recommended variety delivers excellent DM and ME yields plus good starch yields from relatively early short plants. Under plastic mulch, it dries down well to deliver a good starch content.
|
|
Podium
(P)
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
An early silking variety, this new provisional recommendation can give high DM, starch and ME yields under plastic with a high starch content.
|
|
PR39D60
(S)
|
Pioneer ;
-
This very tall and late recommendation has good DM and ME yields under the plastic system and is specifically recommended only for early sowing under plastic in very mild regions to ensure the crop fully matures and that higher starch contents than listed are achieved.
|
|
PR39G12
(S)
|
Pioneer ;
-
A very tall, late maturing variety with good DM and ME yields. Specifically recommended for favourable sites with early sowing and mild growing conditions, higher starch contents can be achieved to give higher starch yields than listed.
|
|
PR39V43
()
|
Pioneer ;
-
This tall, later maturing Bold Type variety has high DM, starch and ME yields under the plastic system and also has a good starch content and above target DM content, indicating a high capability in all categories.
|
|
Ronaldinio
()
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
This very tall variety produces very high total and ME yields and due to a relatively good starch content returns a good starch yield.
|
|
SALGADO
()
|
KWS Saat AG;
-
A tall variety that has high total and ME yields, and due to it very high starch developing character, also delivers very impressive starch yields.
|
|
Sunboy
()
|
Saaten Union (UK) Ltd.;
-
A very tall variety which produces very high total and ME yields and a high starch yield. It produces a high DM content and starch content but an unexposed site and carefully timed harvesting may be needed to avoid over maturity lodging.
|
|
Sunstep
(P)
|
Saaten Union (UK) Ltd.;
-
A new provisional recommendation for plastic systems, this very tall variety delivers extremely high total plus very high ME yields and starch yields. A sheltered site and carefully timed harvesting may be needed to avoid over maturity lodging.
|
|
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.
|
|
TRADDI CS
()
|
Caussade Semences;
-
An early maturing relatively short variety with good total and ME yields that combine with a high starch content, indicating a robustness to limiting conditions.
