This guide uses the Descriptive List data which is created from independent trials jointly carried out by NIAB and the British Society of Plant Breeders (BSPB). Varieties usually complete five years of testing, at up to nine locations within the UK. The data represents a varying range of growing and seasonal conditions, giving a very good indication of each varieties’ potential.
Tim Richmond, Maize Product Manager for UK & Ireland says: "Getting maize variety choice wrong can be costly in terms of missed opportunity to produce the maximum feed energy from the crop. The LG Variety Selection Guide aims to make it easier for you to interpret the valuable independent data available to help you make the correct variety choice."
We hope you will find this guide useful in helping you make an informed decision as to which maize varieties best suit both your growing conditions and expected feeding value of the resulting crop.
