LG Beowulf

  • Status: AHDB Recommended
  • UKFM: Group 4
  • Market Options : High Yielding Hard Feed Wheat

LG Beowulf is a high-yielding variety offering an excellent agronomic package for securing yield potential on-farm.

This variety has very stiff straw and a high specific weight, and also offers growers the security of Orange Wheat Blossom Midge (OWBM) resistance.

LG Beowulf can be sown on all soil types, from light to heavy land, and provides excellent flexibility, as it can be drilled from the last week of September onwards. It is suitable as a first, second, or continuous wheat. It really does tick all the boxes for feed wheat growers!

Strengths

  • High-yielding hard feed winter wheat

  • Consistent yield across regions, seasons and scenarios

  • Stiff-strawed variety with OWBM resistance
