ALCHEMY winter wheat has a high yield potential, both treated and untreated, and has all of the attributes to help farmers meet the very significant challenges facing them in the coming years.

Although yield will continue to be the key driver in the decision making process, for most growers other factors have an increasing importance. With the development of resistant strains of Septoria, increased emphasis must be placed on highly disease resistant varieties like Alchemy. Alchemy has very good  all-round disease resistance and was produced from the Limagrain UK wheat breeding program which already has an outstanding reputation for producing varieties with durable genetic resistance.

Although Alchemy is a nabim Group 4 variety, it is a soft endosperm type with the potential to meet the requirements of the UKS export category. In addition, distilling data has shown the variety to have very high spirit yields. The physical grain characteristics of high Hagberg falling number and a good specific weight offer growers very high levels of security in meeting the specifications of each of its target markets.
