Ron Granger, Arable Technical Manager, Limagrain UK, on the Recommended List's highest yielding winter wheat, LG Skyscraper

United Kingdom
June 2020

LG Skyscraper is the highest yielding winter wheat on the AHDB Recommended List 2020/21 and offers a combination of strong agronomic merits and grain quality attributes, giving growers maximum return on their investment.

LG Skyscraper has a strong disease resistance profile, showing good resistance for both Yellow Rust and Septoria tritici. The variety also offers the additional benefit of OWBM resistance; an important trait increasingly valued by growers due to restrictions on insecticide products.
