We offer a wide range of seeds including cereals, oilseeds, pulses and organics as well as forage crops and other small seeds. A select number of well-appointed suppliers are used to ensure we retain the highest quality product with a prompt and professional service. One such supplier Dunns (Long Sutton) Ltd – is 100% owned by Gleadell Agriculture and is a major UK agricultural seed wholesale company and specialist human consumption pulse processing business.

Gleadell are a market leader in aiding the development of new varieties which has gained support from the end users. This has created a link between the seed

breeders and the consumers which has enabled products to have suitable homes available once they are brought to the market.

This year our wheat end market suitability comments are kindly supplied by ADM Milling Ltd. ADM have for many years worked strategically with leading UK wheat breeders, evaluating pipeline material, to gain early understanding of milling and baking functionality in promising varieties. This has provided valuable commercial feedback at an earlier stage of the process, and led to greater confidence in new varieties as they achieve RL status.

Through our strategically located suppliers of cereal and pulses seed we aim to offer a consistent high quality and excellent standard of supply, whilst managing the risk of varietal performance due to unforeseen weather events in any given season.

Building on the success of last year’s catalogue – this year we hope to give further insight into the varieties and aid selection for your individual farm situation.

UK seed market share autumn 2015 plantings - 9.8%

Gleadell’s view - Now established as a versatile wheat variety on farm, Skyfall has been popular with the quality wheat grower and the feed grower alike. Skyfall is a bearded wheat but that’s not the only reason it stands out from the crowd. It has revolutionised the quality wheat market – bringing yield in line with the very popular feed wheats. Its combination of yield, quality and good all-round disease resistance including OWBM and Pch1 eyespot resistance makes it an exciting all-round package. Better suited for later sowings from the end of September onwards. End-market suitability - Good milling and baking performance has been seen from this variety in its first full season of availability. Given its high yield, effective protein management will be required to achieve consistency and full milling potential.

Gleadell’s view - KWS Trinity entered the group 1 sector last year, it is a high yielding group 1 variety with excellent disease resistance, short, stiff straw and mid-maturity. Trinity’s best performance is in the northern region, but on a par with Skyfall in the East.

End-market suitability - KWS Trinity joined the RL in 2015 and from the early commercial crops seen, has confirmed its status as a group 1 variety. We expect to see a larger volume this season and an effective protein management programme will be required to maximise its potential.

Gleadell’s view - Crusoe represented a step forward in terms of disease resistance from Gallant and Solstice. It is now outclassed in yield terms by Skyfall and KWS Trinity but its consistent quality and on-farm performance will mean it will see it remaining popular with growers.

End-market suitability - Although lower in yield than other bread wheats it is quickly becoming the quality ‘backbone’ due to its ability to produce high protein crops. Good crumb structure and solid baking performance are key attributes that ensure its popularity will continue.

Gleadell’s view - Following on from the success of Skyfall, Illustrious comes from the same stable. It has the best untreated yield of the group 1 varieties and looks to be an excellent choice from a risk management point of view. Slightly taller than the sector competitors but nice and stiff, with an excellent all round disease portfolio. Slightly later maturing so would suit a grower looking to spread harvest dates with the likes of Skyfall and Crusoe. Best performance looks to be on heavier sites.

End-market suitability - New to the RL this season and was identified as a variety that potentially has good protein functionality. Over 3 years of testing it has performed consistently well, with a high level of water absorption being a key feature. Baking performance has been excellent.

Wheat Varieties - Group 2

UK seed market share autumn 2015 plantings - 4.5%

Gleadell’s view - KWS Lili was a popular choice in 2015, it ticks many boxes and should be considered first and foremost as a very high yielding variety with the potential to achieve an added premium to increase gross margins on farm. Consistent across locations, with outstanding first wheat yields, KWS Lili is best suited to lighter soils.

End-market suitability - Another variety more suited to blends as high yields will possibly dilute protein. Baking performance was variable over the 3 years of testing.

Gleadell’s view - Cordiale has developed a strong place on farm. It has given consistent quality year on year, helping it to maintain a solid market share since its introduction over 10 years ago. The early maturity is a popular trait – ensuring quality in the barn along with a decent entry into OSR.

End-market suitability - Baking and milling performance has remained consistently good over many years since this variety joined the RL. Millers have relied upon Cordiale as their group 2 variety of choice. Treated yield is similar to Crusoe, with early to harvest credentials and resilient protein and hagberg levels maintaining its popularity, we expect to see its longevity continue.

UK seed market share autumn 2015 plantings - 0.2%

Gleadell’s view - Possibly the most exciting new addition to the 2016/17 RL – KWS Siskin is a supercharged version of the popular variety KWS Lili. Siskin takes yields to a new level and is the equal highest yielding variety on the new list for the eastern region but with outstanding disease resistance scores including a 7 for Septoria tritici, the most yield robbing disease for winter wheat. Consistent across soil types and rotational positions KWS Siskin looks set to be very popular this year.

End-market suitability - New to the RL this season and has a degree of variability in its baking performance. With its very high yields its milling usage will probably be suited to blends, as optimum full spec milling protein may be difficult to achieve.

Wheat Varieties - Group 3

UK seed market share autumn 2015 plantings - 0.5%

Gleadell’s view - A new variety added to the RL last season that struggled to gain market share in a difficult year for group 3 soft wheats. With an exceptional performance on farm last harvest, the variety looks like an interesting choice for the soft wheat grower – particularly suited to later sowings and second wheat situations, performing well on both light and heavy sites.

End-market suitability - Good Gluten extensibility has been seen to date and meets all other group 3 criteria.

Gleadell’s view - Basset is one of two new soft group 3’s from KWS this year, the other - KWS Barrel - is very limited in seed supply, however there will be slightly more KWS Basset available. It has equal yield to both Barrel and Britannia in the Eastern region, featuring stiff straw and a good all round disease resistance package. KWS Basset also looks like it will suit early sowing.

End-market suitability - New to the RL this season, it is high yielding and will therefore need an effective level of protein management to achieve full milling potential. Meets all other group 3 criteria.

Wheat Varieties - Group 4 Softs

UK seed market share autumn 2015 plantings - 4.5%

Gleadell’s view - The highest yielding Group 4 soft wheat variety on the

RL, Leeds has been a popular variety over the past few seasons. Its high

specific weight underpinned its launch platform in harvest 13 when we

saw very low specific weights in many other varieties due to the wet

harvest. Leeds has decent all-round disease resistance except for mildew

and brown rust, which will need watching. The variety is particularly

suited to northern sites and lighter soils.

Gleadell’s view - Revelation has been one of the first varieties to sell out

in the past three seasons now. Its on-farm performance has helped its

popularity and it has an outstanding disease portfolio. Consistent across

soil types and rotational position, it produces a very high untreated yield,

reducing risk. It is on the late side so can play a useful role as part of a

portfolio of varieties to spread harvest maturity.

this season. It is a potential group 4 soft variety, which has flexibility in

sowing date and consistent yield performance so far in trials. It has a good

all round disease portfolio – including OWBM resistance.

Gleadell’s view - New last season – Reflection captured a large market

share in its launch year. Reflection is high yielding in all regions and is

particularly strong in the west. Its short stiff straw and high specific weight

are all plus points along with earlier maturity than its competitors.

KWS Silverstone looks to favour light soils and has very high yield

potential in the northern region, although on limited data. Consistent yield

performance across other regions, and a solid all round disease package.

Straw strength will need to be managed to maximise the potential of the

variety.

Gleadell’s view - Another candidate variety included in this years seed

catalogue, Marston is a hard group 4 variety with high yield potential

but backed up with solid disease scores including a 7 for Septoria

tritici. The variety is from breeder DSV and a downgraded quality

wheat, its grain qualities are very good and looks like it may find a

home with added premiums, certainly one to keep an eye on this year

with high levels of disease.

Gleadell’s view - A new addition from Syngenta to the 16/17 RL – Graham

looks to be an interesting variety for a number of reasons, western yield is

very high – the highest on the list, and excellent all round disease resistance

including a 7 for Septoria. Slightly earlier maturing than the scores may

show, it is suited to early sowing, and performs best as a first wheat. The

fusarium resistance may also be of particular interest to those sowing first

wheat after maize

Graham

Meet GRahaM, the early maturing, hard feed wheat, with excellent disease resistance and potential for early drillingGRahaM is the newest Winter Wheat offering from Syngenta to the 2016/17 ahDB Recommended List. With high yields, a 7 rating for Septoria tritici and strong straw, GRahaM is a very interesting new variety to consider...

GRahaM’s growth habit is highly suited to early drilling. It is slow to develop over the winter and stays prostrate to the ground. In Syngenta observation plots, GRahaM went through its growth stages at the same rate as Grafton, and heading occurred on the same day. Maturity is given as a 0, similar to JB Diego, but in reality it is the 5th earliest winter wheat variety to reach maturity (ahDB RL 2016/17).

In Syngenta trials GRahaM has been the highest yielding variety in early September drill trials over 2 years and 2 sites. along with it’s over winter growth habit, and innate high yields, GRahaM’s strong straw and excellent foliar disease profile means that GRahaM is highly suited to early drilling.

What does Graham bring to the table?

BrEEDErS INSIGhT

Gleadell’s view - A Conqueror cross – KWS Crispin looks by its parentage to

be well suited to late sowing. Crispin has removed its named parents two real

weaknesses in brown rust and low spec weight. KWS Crispin looks like it will

be a popular choice for 2016, its untreated yield is one of the highest on the

list and is the only new group 4 hard variety with OWBM resistance, which

could be a good management tool with the loss of Chlorpyrifos. Although it is

suited to late sowing – it also performs very well in the main drilling position

– particularly grown under farm protocols as we have seen in private trials.

KWS Crispin is a high yielding Group 4 with good physical grain quality and exceptional disease resistance characteristics. Resistance scores include maximum ratings for yellow rust and mildew. It is a vigorous variety that has performed equally well in the East, and West and has the second highest untreated yield on the RL after KWS Siskin. With Conqueror in its parentage it is no surprise that it performs well in the late drilled slot.

2016 is the first year with any volume of commercial seed availability.

Costello is from the same stable as JB Diego and looks to follow on in its

footsteps. The variety appears to give consistent on farm performance

backed up with good all-round disease resistance and perhaps even some

added quality, including a monstrous specific weight – the highest on the

list.

Winter Barley - Malting Varieties

UK seed market share autumn 2015 plantings - 1.5%

Gleadell’s view - Talisman is now fully approved for brewing following a successful 2nd year of testing, the variety shows consistent performance across different sites/situations and is particularly strong on light land. The variety has reasonably tall straw with medium strength and good all-round disease resistances.

End-market suitability - Talisman is now fully approved for use in brewing. However to date it has not been trialled extensively for malting and should be grown on contract where possible.

Gleadell’s view - SY Venture is the most popular winter malting barley variety grown in the UK, well-liked by growers and end users alike. The variety has short, reasonably stiff straw and generally good all-round disease resistances. However Rhynchosporium resistance is not the strongest and as such will require monitoring. SY Venture performs better on heavier soil types.

End-market suitability - SY Venture is fully approved by the IBD for production of malt for brewing and is first choice among brewers and maltsters for winter malting barley. Growers will find good demand in most regions although it should only be grown on contract in southern areas.

Gleadell’s view - A Clearfield offering from breeder DEKALB with all of

the traits that we have come to expect from a DK hybrid, yield would be

in the middle of pack as with Veritas CL under normal trialling however

with the Clearfield technology within the variety – this gives the grower

the opportunity to grow OSR in those very difficult weed pressure

Gleadell’s view - A variety which has shown resistance to TuYV (turnip

quite considerably. Amalie has moderate yield where disease is absent,

but as a risk management tool is an excellent addition to the spread of

varieties on farm. It also has solid disease scores.

Pulses

Gleadell’s view - Tundra was added to the PGRO RL in 2014 but autumn 2015 was its first commercial season, and it proved to

be very popular. The variety really takes winter beans forward in yield terms with a 8% increase over the old favourite Wizard.

Retaining decent seed size and similar agronomics to Wizard, Tundra looks to remain a popular choice.

End-market suitability - Tundra has proved to be a suitable variety for splitting, although slightly smaller than other varieties

of winter beans. It has smoother skin when compared with other winter bean varieties which means it is more acceptable for

export as a whole bean for “foule medames”.

Breeder Limagrain Europe

UK Agent Limagrain UK

Gleadell’s view - Wizard has been a mainstay in the winter bean sector for over 10 years, and to many growers has been the

only winter bean to grow. The variety has given consistent human consumption grade quality so will remain popular. However, it

will lose some market share to its new rival.

End-market suitability - Liked by end users due to large size and therefore most suitable for split bean market. Used less than

spring beans for Foule Mesdames due to its darker, wrinkled skin.
