MARKET LEADING OILSEED RAPE and PULSE VARIETIES FROM NPZ UK (formerly LSPB) WILL BE ON DISPLAY ON STAND 506  AT THE CEREALS EVENT THIS JUNE

NPZ UK return to Cereals on June 11th and 12th 2024 following successful visits in 2022 and 2023.

The high footfall of growers, agronomists and trade visitors to our stand were exactly our target audience. In particular, the great interest in our variety demonstration plots confirmed the decision to take part in Cereals again in 2024.

This June we have again expanded the range of our varieties on show at the stand which is 50% larger than last year (Stand 506). The comprehensive series of plots feature our winter oilseed rape, spring and winter beans, spring combining peas, and spring wheat.

NPZ UK has a long heritage in winter oilseed rape breeding, and the range of AHDB Recommended List varieties on display will include our three high-yielding hybrid varieties Turing, Murray and Vegas - showcasing the ‘RlmS' phoma resistance gene with outstanding light leaf spot resistance.

NPZ UK are equally well known to UK pulse growers for their spring bean portfolio and the varieties will include top of the PGRO Descriptive List Genius, market leading Lynx, and market expanding LVC (low vicine/convicine) varieties Futura and Victus.

The company’s combining pea varieties are top or near top of the PGRO Descriptive List and the plots will include Carrington and Butterfly green peas, along with Concerto and Orchestra yellow peas, plus the high yielding marrowfat peas Akooma and Takayama.

NPZ UK will also be demonstrating a selection of our current candidate varieties as well as some very promising coded varieties with exceptional packages of traits which we are evaluating for the future.

This year there will be an additional reason to visit the NPZ stand as Prof. Dr. Ute Kropf of the University of Applied Sciences, Kiel will be speaking on her research: ‘Drilling at the right time based on the conditions, rather than by calendar date, may now be the best strategy for growers to follow given changing climate’.

Her talk will be at 11:30 and 1:30 on the first day of Cereals, Tuesday 11 June. No ticket is necessary, but please come early to be sure of a place!

Above all, we look forward to welcoming visitors to our stand and showing them all that we can offer UK growers and the seed trade.
