Now that the latest HGCA oilseed rape and PGRO pulse Recommended Lists for 2012-13 have been published, our success as a new presence in the UK market in continuing.

Our leading conventional winter oilseed rape variety Sesame in the east/west region has been joined by the semi-dwarf hybrid Thorin and, in the north region by the hybrids Cracker and Palace. We also have the new hybrid Avatar as a candidate.

For pulses, we have Fury spring bean, Bluestar large blue pea and Gregor white pea as fully-Recommended varieties on the new PGRO Lists.

Looking to the future, we have both oilseed rape and pulse varieties progressing through the trials system as we continue to bring improved varieties to the UK grower.

PULSES

 

Company background:
LSPB has grown from two companies with a long pedigree in plant breeding in oilseeds, pulses, cereals and forage crops both for Europe and the wider world. Our varieties have been marketed previously through UK agents – now we have established a firm presence in the UK market in our own right.  We believe our varieties are good news for the UK as they show the results of our significant investment in breeding new, improved material for the UK with conventional and hybrid winter oilseed rape varieties on the HGCA Recommended List, and similar success with the PGRO Pulse Recommended Lists.
