We offer a wide range of cereal, oilseed, pulse and root seeds, as well as forage crop, organic and small seeds, using a select number of suppliers to ensure we combine the highest quality product with a prompt and professional service. One such supplier, Dunns (Long Sutton) Ltd, is 100% owned by Gleadell Agriculture and is a major UK agricultural seed wholesale company and specialist human consumption pulse-processing business.
Gleadell is a market leader in promoting the development of new varieties, a move that has gained support from end users. This has created a
link between seed breeders and consumers, enabling products to be matched to suitable homes once they are brought to the market.
Our wheat end-market suitability comments are once again kindly supplied by ADM Milling Ltd. For many years, ADM has worked strategically with leading UK wheat breeders, evaluating pipeline material. This has produced an early understanding of milling and baking functionality in promising varieties, providing valuable commercial feedback and leading to greater confidence in new varieties as they achieve RL status.
Through our strategically located suppliers of cereal and pulses seed we aim to offer a consistent high quality and excellent standard of supply, whilst managing the risk of varietal performance due to unforeseen weather events in any given season.
Building on the success of last year’s catalogue, this new edition provides a further insight into the coming season’s key varieties to aid selection for your individual farm.

Wheat Varieties - Group 1
UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 0.2%
Gleadell’s view - KWS Zyatt is the first newcomer featured in this year’s variety guide, and looks set to be a success, both in terms of quality and all-round yield and agronomics. Zyatt will become a partner variety to the established Group 1s Skyfall and Crusoe, and features yield improvement and excellent disease resistance. It also offers the best performance on heavier sites and, with Pch1 resistance to eyespot, looks likely to also perform well as a second cereal. It suits the main drilling window onwards, and has outstanding untreated yield, reflecting its solid disease profile.
End-market suitability - KWS Zyatt, new to the Recommended List this year, has confirmed its status as a Group 1 variety after three years of testing. With a strong disease package and high yields, an effective protein management programme will be required to maximise its quality potential.

Gleadell’s view - RGT Skyfall continues to be popular with the quality wheat grower and the feed grower alike – its bearded appearance is not the only reason it stands out from the crowd. The variety has revolutionised the quality wheat market, bringing yield in line with popular feed wheats. Its combination of yield, quality and good all-round disease resistance, including OWBM resistance (the only Group 1 variety to have this trait) and Pch1 eyespot resistance, makes it an exciting all-round package. RGT Skyfall is better suited for later sowings, from the end of September onwards.
End-market suitability - RGT Skyfall is the leading Group 1 variety for market share and it continues to exhibit good milling and baking performance. Given its high yield, effective protein management will be required to achieve consistency and full milling potential.
UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 1.4%
Gleadell’s view - RGT Illustrious had a disappointing year in 2016. However, it remains a very high quality Group 1 variety and its slightly later maturity suits those growing large areas of quality wheat where a spread of harvest is important. RGT Illustrious is also the best of the Group 1s for earlier sowing. It is best suited to heavier sites for best yield potential. The variety has stiff straw and a solid all-round disease profile.
End-market suitability - This variety has good protein functionality even at lower levels. Over three years of testing it has performed consistently well, with a high level of water absorption being a key feature. Baking performance has been excellent.

Gleadell’s view - Crusoe represented a step forward in terms of disease resistance from Gallant and Solstice when introduced. It is now outclassed in yield terms by RGT Skyfall and the newcomer KWS Zyatt, but its consistency of both quality and on-farm performance will see it remaining popular with growers. Its Septoria tritici resistance remains the best in its class.
End-market suitability - Although lower in yield than other bread wheats, Crusoe is quickly becoming the quality benchmark due to its ability to produce high protein crops. As a result, market share has continued to grow. Good crumb structure and solid baking performance are key attributes that ensure its popularity will continue.

UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 8.2%
Gleadell’s view - KWS Siskin joined the RL last year and was possibly the most exciting new addition, bringing yield and Septoria tritici resistance forward. This represented a real step-change in breeding. Unsurprisingly, its performance in the west is very strong, given its 6.8 score for Septoria and solid disease package. This delivers excellent untreated performance and the best performance in the first wheat slot.
End-market suitability - KWS Siskin has a degree of variability in its baking performance. It produces very high yields but will probably be suited to blends, as full-specification milling protein may be difficult to achieve.

Gleadell’s view - KWS Lili remained a popular choice in 2016, following on from its success in the previous year. It ticks many boxes and should be considered first and foremost as a very high yielding variety with the potential to achieve an added premium. It is well liked by the millers. Consistent across locations, with outstanding first wheat yields, KWS Lili is best suited to lighter soils.
End-market suitability - This is another variety more suited to blends as high yields will possibly dilute protein. KWS Lili’s baking performance has been variable over three years of testing.

Gleadell’s view - Cordiale has developed a strong place on farm. It has given consistent quality year on year, helping it to maintain a solid market share since its introduction over 10 years ago. The early maturity is a popular trait, ensuring quality in the barn along with a decent entry into OSR.
End-market suitability - Baking and milling performance have remained consistently good over many years since this variety joined the RL. Millers have relied upon Cordiale as their Group 2 variety of choice. Treated yield is similar to Crusoe, with early-to-harvest credentials and resilient protein and Hagberg levels maintaining its popularity. We expect its longevity to continue.

Wheat Varieties - Group 3
THE GROUP 3sKWS Basset ideally suits farmers in the South, its robust agronomic package will appeal to those growing for traditional biscuit markets. KWS Barrel performs well across the whole UK and has exceptional figures in the North and on light land. Both varieties are rated positive for
www.kws-uk.com
UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 0.1%
Gleadell’s view - Basset was the second variety from this breeder to join the RL Group 3 sector in 2016/17. It is slightly lower yielding than stablemate Barrel, although potentially has the edge in terms of end-user quality. The variety is suitable for slightly earlier sowing. KWS Basset also has OWBM resistance, and better Septoria resistance than its stablemate.
End-market suitability - Meets all Group 3 criteria, although KWS Basset has shown some variability in dough extensibility.

Gleadell’s view - KWS Barrel was one of two Group 3 varieties added to the RL List last year. However, there was only limited seed available for autumn 2016 sowings. KWS Barrel has high yield potential and could help reinvigorate the Group 3 sector from autumn 17 onwards. The variety exhibits exceptional yield in the North region, and has very stiff straw, reasonable disease scores and OWBM resistance. Best on light soils, it also performs well later sown.
End-market suitability - KWS Barrel meets all Group 3 criteria required for milling and should gain market share thanks to its improved yields.

Wheat Varieties - Group 4 Softs
UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 0.3%
Gleadell’s view - Quite possibly the pick of the new additions to this year’s Recommended List, LG Sundance follows on from KWS Siskin in moving yield and Septoria resistance forward. The yield step in terms of Group 4 soft varieties is significant. It is 6% higher yielding than Revelation, a variety that is popular due to its good disease resistance. However, LG Sundance has the highest score for Septoria resistance on the new list at 7.3, along with an excellent all-round disease package plus OWBM resistance. Consistent across soil types and rotational positions, LG Sundance is likely to be one of the first varieties to sell out this season.

Gleadell’s view - From the same stable as LG Sundance, LG Motown is another useful addition to the RL list this year. It has a number of differences to its stablemate – it looks a nice fit in the North where it produces the best of its yield figures, has earlier maturity and is suitable for distilling. LG Motown looks set to perform best on lighter sites, and is consistent across rotational positions.

Gleadell’s view - An interesting new variety, Hardwicke is bred by Sejet
in Denmark with KWS UK as UK agent. It follows on from the likes of
Evolution, also a UK-adapted Danish variety. Hardwicke caught the eye last
year in trials, thanks to its very consistent, billiard-table appearance, with
short, stiff straw. Being a soft endosperm wheat it is more marketable and
has distilling potential, the main reason for its North recommendation. Yield
is a step forward on the current Group 4 market leaders, so it should not be
ignored south of the border.

Wheat Varieties - Group 4 Hards
UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 0.2%
Gleadell’s view - The first of two new RL hard feed wheats which have really stepped up yield over existing varieties, KWS Kerrin looks to be another excellent choice. It follows on from the likes of KWS Santiago and Oakley, both of which brought significant upturns in yield. KWS Kerrin is 2% higher yielding than Belgrade and KWS Silverstone. It looks set to be popular with growers looking for hard feed types. It has solid disease scores and OWBM resistance, and produces consistently high yields across rotational positions, together with high specific weight. Its best performance looks likely on light soils, with exceptional yield potential in the northern region.

Gleadell’s view - Shabras is another variety with a step-change in yield,
equalling KWS Kerrin’s performance. The variety has equal highest yield
potential on the RL in the West region, which differentiates it from KWS Kerrin,
thanks to better Septoria scores. It also shows early maturity, which will
attract growers, as well as excellent second wheat potential. Shabras will be
another newcomer to sell out quickly in 2017.

Gleadell’s view - RGT Gravity has very high yield potential and is on
course to be class leading in the Group 4 hard sector. A candidate variety
this year, RGT Gravity combines high yield potential with consistent
performance across two years of official testing and across regions, soil
types and rotational positions. It has a very aggressive growth habit with
strong ground coverage. With OWBM resistance and solid agronomics,
RGT Gravity looks set to be one of the earliest sell-outs of the season.

Wheat Varieties - Group 4 Hards

UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 3.3%
Gleadell’s view - A new addition from Syngenta to the 2016/17 RL, Graham
was a popular variety on farm and was one of the first varieties to sell out
for a number of reasons. Yield in the West is very high – the equal highest
on the list, and the variety exhibits excellent all-round disease resistance
including a 6.7 for Septoria tritici. Slightly earlier maturing than the scores
may show, it is suited to early sowing, and performs best as a first wheat.
Fusarium resistance may also be of particular interest to those sowing first
wheat after maize.

Gleadell’s view - A Conqueror cross, KWS Crispin looks from its parentage to be well suited to late sowing, while also losing its named parents’ two real weaknesses, brown rust and low specific weight. KWS Crispin was only available in a limited quantity in 2016 and its popularity outstripped availability. However, there will be more seed available in 2017 and its popularity looks set to continue, particularly in the later-sown slot. Its untreated yield is one of the highest on the list and features OWBM resistance. Although it is suited to late sowing, it also performs very well in the main drilling position, particularly when grown under farm protocols as we have seen in private trials.

Winter Barley - Malting Varieties
UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 6.8% of conventional
Gleadell’s view - SY Venture is the most popular winter malting barley variety grown in the UK, well-liked by both growers and end users. The variety has short, reasonably stiff straw and generally good all-round disease resistance scores. Rhynchosporium resistance is not the strongest and will require monitoring.
End-market suitability - SY Venture is fully approved by the IBD for production of malt for brewing and is first choice among brewers and maltsters for winter malting barley. Growers will find good demand in most regions, although the variety should only be grown on contract in southern areas.

UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 0.6% of conventional
Gleadell’s view - Craft is the newcomer winter malting variety from Syngenta, the same breeder that produced market leader SY Venture. Craft is a step-up in yield, with a 2% increase over SY Venture for the UK and a bigger step-change for the North region. It has improved untreated yield and lower screenings. Its disease-resistance portfolio is good, with better scores than its stablemate for all the major diseases, including Rhyncosporium and net blotch.
End-market suitability - Craft looks a very promising variety. It is undergoing testing by the Institute of Brewing and Distilling and has provisional approval (1) for brewing. The outlook is positive thus far, but we would recommend growing on a contract until the variety achieves full IBD approval.

Winter Barley - Feed Varieties
UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 44.6% of hybrids
Gleadell’s view - Bazooka took a large market share last year, at a time when the overall hybrid barley area increased to around 105,000ha. Six-row varieties now show a real yield increase both in trial and on farm; when grown along the lines of the Syngenta protocol they are capable of very high yields. Bazooka is the equal highest yielding hybrid, with very consistent performance across the whole of the UK, with a standout performance in the East. The variety has stiff, albeit tall, straw and a solid disease profile as we have come to expect from such varieties, including a 7 for Rhynchosporium.

UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings - 35.5% of hybrids
Gleadell’s view - Volume has been around for a number of years and has
become a popular choice for growers looking for hybrid six-row barley.
The variety has tall, but relatively stiff, straw and early maturity. On-
farm yields have been very high indeed. Volume’s vigorous growth habit
has been shown to give good competition against blackgrass, which
could also be said for Bazooka and Sunningdale.

Gleadell’s view - KWS Orwell was a new addition to the 2016/17 list and
has cemented its place as the highest yielding two-row feed variety on
the current RL. At 104% of controls, it is 5% higher yielding than KWS
Cassia and 2% above KWS Tower and KWS Glacier, last year’s market
leaders. KWS Orwell has stiff straw along with a reasonable disease
package, with the exception of mildew, although this disease is easily
managed.

Gleadell’s view - Sunningdale is a new addition to this year’s RL, although
it is already being grown quite widely on farm. Sunningdale is equal-
yielding to stablemate Bazooka in the UK. However, its differentiating
features would be very strong yield performance in the North and West
regions, slightly earlier maturity, and excellent yield potential on light
land sites. Its disease-resistance package is very similar to Bazooka.

a combination of high seed yield and excellent oil content. Very good
light leaf spot resistance and solid phoma scores make this variety
suitable for the whole of the UK. Limited data would indicate Sparrow

thanks to its good all-round performance. Incentive has high gross
output potential backed up with good oils and is stiff strawed.
It features on both regional lists, has good light leaf spot resistance

Gleadell’s view - A Clearfield offering from breeder Dekalb, with all
the traits we have come to expect from a DK hybrid. Yield would be in
the middle of pack as with Veritas CL under normal trials conditions.
However, the Clearfield technology gives the grower the opportunity to
grow OSR under very difficult weed pressure. Featuring excellent stem
canker and LLS scores, plus pod shatter resistance, DK Imperial CL is
certainly going to be a popular choice in the Clearfield sector.

DJANGODjango is the latest offering from the KWS Momont breeding programme. It features characteristics specifically demanded by the UK farmer. These include; vigour, yield, standing ability and oil content.
www.kws-uk.com
Gleadell’s view - Django gives growers a golden opportunity for gross
output. A new variety out of the same stable as the very popular variety
Campus, Django is a vigorous, strong-standing, high-yielding, conventional
variety with robust disease ratings. It is an RL candidate variety with
similar yield to the top conventional varieties such as Nikita, Flamingo
and Elgar, with solid agronomics.

yields quite considerably. Amalie has moderate yield where disease is
absent, but as a risk management tool is an excellent addition to the
spread of varieties on farm. It also has solid disease scores.

Gleadell’s view - From the same stable as Campus, Barbados features

– sevens for both canker and LLS – mean it would also be well suited to
growers in the East/West region. It has high gross output potential. Stiff
straw is also a feature, and the variety is slightly later to mature so could
help spread harvest timings.

Winter Oats
UK seed market share autumn 2016 plantings -7.6%
Gleadell’s view - Dalguise has been in the marketplace for over 10 years now and remains a popular choice. Oat variety selection is driven by end-user demand and restrictions, as such Dalguise’s high specific weight and kernel content give a solid platform. Disease resistances are not the strongest and the variety is relatively weak strawed.

Gleadell’s view - Tundra was added to the PGRO RL in 2014 but autumn 2015 was its first commercial season, Tundra is proving
to be very popular with growers now that it has secured its place in the market. The variety really takes winter beans forward
in yield terms, with a 7% increase over old favourite Wizard. Retaining decent seed size and similar agronomics to Wizard,
Tundra looks to remain a popular choice.
End-market suitability - Tundra has proved to be a suitable variety for splitting, although it is slightly smaller than other
varieties of winter beans. It has a comparatively smoother skin, which means it is more acceptable for export as a whole bean
for Foules Medames.

Gleadell’s view - Wizard has been a mainstay in the winter bean sector for over 10 years and many growers consider it the only
winter bean to grow. The variety has given consistent human-consumption quality so will remain popular. However, it will lose
some market share to its newer rival.
End-market suitability - Wizard is liked by end users due to its large size, which makes it the most suitable variety for the split
bean market. Used less than spring beans for Foules Mesdames due to its darker, wrinkled skin.

Small Seed Website
Gleadell’s successful small seed site offers more than 50 different products for sale covering the small seeds sector, including game cover, greening options and environmental crops, grasses and forage.
These can be ordered at any time of the day or night, so there is no need to wait for our offices to open. We like to think we have compiled one of the widest ranges of game cover options, available in one location, perfect for busy farm and shoot managers.
Gleadell has a long-established name in the arable seed sector. We are really excited to extend our recognised high quality and service focus into the wider seed sectors.
We have ensured the site is simple to use and works across all devices. Provided you have an internet connection you can place your order in office or field, paying by debit or credit card. Current Gleadell customers can pay by account and receive invoices in the normal way. All orders are normally delivered within 48 hours.
Anyone unsure about their requirements can refer to our product descriptions and outline of the role each seed mixture should play. We also provide a crop selector table providing information such as pack size, crop purpose (cover, feed or nectar), utilisation period and crop duration, as well as agronomy notes on sowing dates and seed rates. You can also speak directly to a fully qualified expert.
Within the site there are options to satisfy new and existing Countryside Stewardship agreements, either part of ELS/HLS or the new mid- and high-tier system.
The grass seeds range includes short, medium and long-term leys as well as specific haylage and silage mixes and equine leys. Forage crops include rape, kale, fodder beet, stubble turnips and root mixtures.
The green manuring mixtures are set to be popular this autumn, given increasing awareness around nitrogen use efficiency, especially where overwintered land is being entered into environmental schemes. Black oat forms the basis of our green manure mixtures as it acts as a break for following wheat and barley crops, while putting more biomass below ground level.
