Variety Trials
Every year Premium Crops commission a unique network of variety trials to test candidate lines alongside established commercial varieties.
The results provide valuable insight into what performs best in UK conditions for yield and quality, with only the best proceeding to UK registration and into the Premium Crops commercial portfolio.
From these trials the agronomy team capture key data about agronomic characteristics, which means the techinical support and advice that Premium Crops provide their growers takes full account of differences between varieties.
Each trial network has multiple trial locations with fully replicated plots hosted by third party, industry recognised trial operators following protocols based on the official UK National List trials.
