Data from Trials commissioned by Premium Crops Ltd and run by independent operators. Yield is a mean of 5 trials across four harvest years (2013 to 2016 inclusive). * 1 to 9 scale, 9 = Character expressed to a high degree. Yield differences of less than 8% should be treated with reserve, ‘Candidate’ varieties are based on very limited data.

Using data from independent trials commissioned by Premium Crops our new ‘Descriptive List’ compares the yield performance and key agronomic characters of all of the varieties in the Premium Crops portfolio with leading competitors.

To visit the trials and see the varieties for yourself look out for the forthcoming Trials Open Days 2017, visit our website www.premiumcrops.com/latest-news to subscribe to our newsletter.

SPRING LINSEED: Agronomic Benefits

GET ON TOP OF BLACKGRASS “This autumn there was a noticeable difference in the amount of Blackgrass emerging on the ploughed ground, with very little where Linseed had been grown four years ago.”

John Ashton, Linseed Grower, CPM Magazine Dec. 2016

EXCELLENT ROTATIONAL BENEFITS

NO CABBAGE STEM FLEA BEETLES

• An ideal entry into wheat • Friable seed bed • Fewer slugs • Increased yields*

Cabbage Stem Flea Beetles are not a pest on Linseed.

While Spring Linseed is vulnerable to Flax Flea Beetles, their numbers are much fewer and incidence is much less than their OSR eating relatives.

*T rials in France have shown a 4% yield benefit for wheat following linseed c/w OSR
