Spring Triticale

The advent of a Spring-sown Triticale brings this excellent crop within reach of many more UK livestock farmers who prefer to plant crops in the Spring. Triticale is an excellent cereal feedstuff with high levels of protein and lysine. The crop is also easy to grow, has low input requirements and is very suitable for both wholecrop and combining.

Why LOGO Spring Triticale?

• LOGO is high yielding.
• LOGO is the Number one variety in the UK.
• Uses northern European genetics making it a suitable variety for the UK
• Can be sown late Autumn through to May.
• Lends itself very well to wholecrop applications and mixing with other crops.
• Can be under-sown with ryegrass.

Amarillo Winter Triticale

In the 2009 UK trials, Amarillo scored 102% of control, and has entered the UK recommended list for 2010 with the highest yield.

With excellent disease resistance, Amarillo was the most widely grown triticale in the UK last year, and we expect it to become even more popular as more and more farmers try it.

You can download more information regarding Spring Triticale agronomy costs and growing opportunities. There is also a Magazine article from John Deere Publications 2005 written by Rainer Maché outlining the benefits of growing LOGO in northern Germany.
