A full range of new and conventional winter cereal crops will be on show at the Arable Event, which takes place on the 19th of June at Weston-Under-Lizard.
Organised by Wynnstay and GrainLink, the event is celebrating its 10th anniversary and will see an expanded range of trial plots, including fertiliser and biostimulant demonstrations from manufacturers such as Yara, ICL, LKAB and Omex.
Danny Richardson, combinable seed product specialist at Wynnstay Group Plc, said: “The Arable Event demonstration trials will enable farmers to find out about the latest varieties of cereal seeds and will give them an opportunity to compare the key varieties in person.
“This year we will be showcasing SY Cheer – a newly recommended provisional group one milling wheat; Bamford – a new soft wheat from Elsoms which is joint top yielding and looks to have a strong disease profile, as well as LG Beowulf – a new entry hard feed wheat from Limagrain.
“On the barley front LG Capitol is the only new conventional barley which sits joint top of the RL. Also showcased will be the new hybrid barley SY Buzzard which boasts a BYDV tolerance.
“Cromwell will be making its first appearance at the Arable Event after a successful launch last year and is looking to rival Mascani in the milling oat sector.
“Lumaco triticale which is proving to be an advancement on KWS Fido will also be at the show and as we continue to recognise the increasing importance of bio-stimulants to the sector, we will also be demonstrating several foliar products.
“As always we will be inviting several leading manufacturers to demonstrate their products and we are delighted to announce that Corteva and UPL are already signed up to attend.”
The Arable Event is free to attend, and fast-track tickets can be booked at www.thearableevent.co.uk. Pre-booked visitors will be entered into a prize draw sponsored by Mornflake.
