Cereals

Our breeding programme for spring barley suitable for UK conditions is now well underway. New varieties are in the pipeline and will be released by LSPB as they progress through National List and Recommended List trials in the future.

The well known spring barley varieties Riviera and Centurion, and the recently recommended Moonshine, are marketed in the UK through RAGT.

Although triticale is only a small market, the variety Tremplin (RAGT) enjoys a major role and is marketed through Limagrain UK.
