Belvoir
Very High Yielding Group 4
- Group 4 hard feed
- Very high yielding alternative wheat
- Short, stiff straw
- All the benefits of a hybrid
- Excellent disease resistance
- Very wide sowing window
Belvoir is the highest yielding wheat on the RL list when sown late autumn or in the spring. It offers growers the best yield potential across a wide range of late season sowing dates. Belvoir can be sown from November right through to mid-April.
Sown in the late autumn, an alternative wheat will invariably give higher yields than a true winter wheat sown at the same time. Belvoir is no exception, extending the yield advantage even further. Additionally, there is a further benefit with the more robust establishment and igor of an alternative wheat compared to true winter varieties, particularly in the less than ideal seedbeds associated with late drilling.

Agronomically, Belvoir is a very stiff variety with exceptional resistance to both yellow and brown rust.
Spring drilled, the yield advantage of Belvoir provides excellent gross margin opportunity. With grain prices and quality premiums currently available, barn filling ability from spring sowing gives low risk gross margin potential.
