Wheat variety choices next year?

[Wombat]

I thought it was sundance that looked like it had Reglone in the untreated plots at Cereals, or was it another LG variety possibly?

Not sure didn't see them, it's 90 on the sheet for untreated and it's yellow rust and septoria scores are good will give it a whirl as I think the home saved Leeds finally ran out of steam this year

Could well have been LG Generation - a candidate variety that succumbed to Yellow Rust and was subsequently withdrawn by the breeder. Sundance has looked pretty clean but you do get a very low sp wt compared to most other varieties.

Anyone cut ant Zulu, and how was it.
1st wheat after grass cut today, looked 4 tons/ac worth of ears, just about 3.2t in trailers, and bushel of 68kg to boot.
Clean of disease right through.

Started some Costello yesterday, has looked good all season and doing well. Will be my first wheat after rape this coming year. Will be trying some Zyatt and Shabras this year as they impressed me most of the new varieties in plots here this year. Shabras will be as a second wheat and after oats for early entry into WOSR. Pleased to see in early AHDB results it has been a consistent performer.

 

[l'ordinary bonville]

1st wheats will be kielder and lilli
2nd wheats dickens and barrel
Plus a small area of shabras and kerrin for seed.
Kielder still my top yielder

Anyone grown Belgrade? And if so how has it done?

Belgrade did well for us last year, didn't grow it this year though as Elsoms wanted us to grow a different variety for seed this time.

 

[Power Harrow Pilot]

Belgrade was ok, but was a bit weak in the straw here.

We had 150 acres of zulu, it did 4t/acre, bushiel was around 73-74 all over a weighbridge. Its not on real high yielding land more average land and suffers from trace elements deficiency. Basset did better next door to it.

I am really torn for next year. We are putting a lot of Lili in. But the varieties I like(d) for their earliness and nice threshing have all done quite bobbins or just dont have the oomph.

Should really be having a hard look at Santiago again

Still growing Santiago for next year. Still not as difficult as you might expect to keep clean. Did very well here as a second wheat.

 

[dirty harry]

Our 2ww Santiago was terrible!

All decided here now;1/3 gravity, 2/3 zyatt & a hint of Dickens.

Let's hope you all want to grow gravity & zyatt next year!!

Cheers dh

 

[ollie989898]

What is the beef with Zyatt, is it supposed to be any good in the second wheat slot?

 

[4course]

things may yet change but atm
revelation did well massive ears and not late as led to believe and no disease
barrel super wheat good sample this year
lili did well as both 1st 2nd and cont wheat but a b---- to thresh this year but not last yr why?
siskin it was leaning but never went down and yielded best just a bit short on straw quantity

kerrin the new one
motown as the step into the unknown (edited as put wrong name up by mistake)

grafton just for old times sake and I like its earliness in a small field to get us going and sow catch crop or grass earlier without harvest pressure

dropped
diego, shame, but just getting dirty and behind the others
leeds sheds grain too soon once ripe ready today gone tommorrow

 

[dirty harry]

Our zyatt did really well here this time as both 1st & 1 1/2 wheat (after set aside) so not a true 2ww to be fair, with minimal fung spend, & not masses of fert, seems very robust & yielded as good if not better than Dickens & evolution & made full spec milling as the On the cake!!

 

[franklin]

This was the first year I have grown any 2nd wheat for about 8 years. Was to make a block up. Wont be doing it again.

 

[beltbreaker]

Grew Monroe, Viscount, Zulu

Viscount was 200kg/ha behind Zulu and Monroe 0.5t/ha behind Viscount.

Monroe was weekend on straw and took a wee bit of Mildew due to me not taking care of it at T0. It was ripe earlier
Viscount is an old favourite been grown here since 2010 and never lets me down. Can shake if left.
Zulu is my new Viscount..

Growing all three again 2018. Spec weights were all over 77. Been a fantastic year for wheat in the not so grim north.

Cheers BB

 

[David.]

Think we have had Zulu 3 years, it is a bit cleaner than Viscount, but I just don't really like it. There have been disappointing crops of Zulu in all 3 years, not the grain in the ears that it looks, does not yield what it promises here somehow, and not great bushel weight.
Best we cut was Siskin, having spent all season slagging it off.
Seed cleaned this week Viscount; Siskin and Costello, for second look at both. Ton of Bennington coming to try for potentially better soft feed variety.

As Mrs Static is a partner in the business, she has been given the task of choosing the variety this year.

on that basis same partnership arrangement here ,costello a no wasnt struck on elvis costello, sundance in something to do with robert redford, motown a maybe depends on location anything that sounds like a place name out so that rules out bennington, leeds definitely out , zulu a no not keen on michael caine and zyatt out daft name lili in like the name reflection out no time for that here. Siskin in sounds nice barrel in as likes wine, graham out didnt ask but ex teen years boyfriend a possibility. Revelation in or would be if I tidied up, not keen on kerrin as sounds like a name some minor celebrity gives their child either boy or girl, gator out wouldnt be seen dead in them I know different spelling ,dickens out memories of o levels, so looks like we concur on 4 out of 5 that im thinking of sowing not bad that just shows how harmonius is our relationship ho ho
