As we approach the 2016 Oilseed Rape harvest, you may wish to look at potential OSR varieties for next year.
Hybrid varieties offer desirable varietal traits such as pod shatter resistance, which can provide security if there is a stormy build up to the rape harvest.
Please see attached the DK Oilseed Rape harvest update, which provides information on their hybrid varieties.
More information on Dekalb’s Hybrid range is available at: https://www.dekalb.co.uk/product-catalogue/oilseed-rape
At James Mortimer we can provide you with the following DK varieties:
DK Exalte
DK Exception
DK Extravert
Clearfield Imperial

This week, KWS UK has launched Lili Week.
KWS Lili is part of KWS’ Dynamic Wheat portfolio; varieties with high yields and good physical grain quality which lead to more market opportunities. In addition, it possesses solid agronomic characteristics to help reduce risk in crop management.
KWS Lili offers:
This is our second year selling KWS Lili at Mortimers; last year our seed crop on wold land proved to be the highest yielding wheat on farm when compared with hard feed wheats.
By way of incentive, all Lili orders placed by Monday 1st August will receive a very competitive seed price and a fixed payment date of Tuesday 15th November.
And in conjuntion with KWS UK, we will be offering an added incentive of the liquid variety (Subject minimum tonnage) on all orders placed.
Although Siskin has made the headlines this year, KWS Lili is still a strong group 2 and overall wheat. (See attached datasheet for additional details).
Please contact the office for any other information you may require on variety choice and seed treatments.
Mortimers specialise in purchasing commodities direct from farm and supply local feed and flour mills.
Mortimers sell a wide range of cereals, oilseed , pulse and herbage seeds including specialist environmental mixtures.
