DAFM Spring Beans Recommended List 2023

25 Jan

Headlines

LYNX continues to be the highest yielding bean available to grow and also the best to stand (important as we no longer have a pre-harvest desiccant option).

LYNX beans offer growers a €500/ha saving on nitrogenous fertilisers (compared to cereals) and are eligible for the Government Protein Aid Scheme payment of €500/ha*

SEEDING RATE

The TGW of LYNX is 533 g so drill 210 kg/ha (~ 13 st/ac) to sow 40 seeds/m2 (expected establishment of 30-35 plants/m2.). Adjust establishment % to suit conditions. See videos below for more information.

PROTEIN AID SCHEME

*The Protein Aid Scheme payment is expected to be €500/ha; source Teagasc Costs & Returns 2023.

Irish LYNX seed beans are certified free from Stem Nematode and come with all the assurance of being certified by DAFM with our ZERO TOLERANCE ON GRASS WEEDS.
