The most reliable winter wheat to drill in 2024

  Agronomy Characteristics

  • Suitable for early* drilling

  • Reliable disease resistance for Septoria, rust and mildew

  • Low take-all build-up – reduces the risk of infection in the following crop

  • Bright, clean head delivering well-filled grains

  • Stiff to stand & early to ripen

  • Drill 300-350 seeds/m2 up to mid-October to maximise tiller capacity

  • Grows rapidly after growth stage 30 to help yield forming leaves move away from Septoria

  • Early to harvest helps spread the workload

    * Consult an IASIS agronomist regarding early drilling of Graham
You can rely on Graham for consistently high yields, excellent disease resistance and early harvest date
— Dr. Tim O'Donovan - Technical Director

Getting the most from Graham

  • Early sow (before Oct) needs to have a disease rating for Septoria of 5 or greater

  • Normal dates (1st Oct – to 25th Oct) choose Graham as it is the most suitable variety for almost all situations

  • Suggested seed rate: 300- 350 seeds/m2

  • If drilling later or in challenging seedbeds, choose a quicker autumn developing variety like CHAMPION

    Please consult your agronomist or call Seedtech if you have a query.
