Anyone growing it? Or considering it for this year?

RGAT’s 2nd go at a BYDV variety, Wolverine didn’t really whet the appetite but what’s the thoughts on Grouse? I haven’t been able to see it in any trials yet

I’ve booked 5 tonne to try….
Heard good and bad, don’t know till you try some though.
Grown wolverine for 3 years, was ready to sack it off last year until it was the second best yielder after Dawsum.
The wolverine is going this year though as hasn’t stood the dry as well as others.

I booked some then cancelled it after seeing it in trails really didn’t impress, septoria score not good enough for us out in the wet west.

I’ve got a seed crop of it. It’s grown well, but been slow developing all season being 5-7days behind other varieties on spray timings. Not had any issues keeping it clean at all. No news to report on yields yet (obviously), but looks decent.

Edit: drilled mine 12th October

What is it like in the autumn? Fairly steady?

Not really. It certainly didn’t stand out as being behind anything else until I started dissecting plants for working out spray timings.
