SUNNINGDALE was added to the AHDB Recommended List for drilling in autumn 2017, but is no longer listed. SUNNINGDALE yields exceptionally well and is particularly strong in the North.
Breeding insights
"SUNNINGDALE is an exceptional variety for the North. SUNNINGDALE yields at least 6% more than all the conventional 2-row varieties in the North and is the only variety to exceed 10 t/ha treated yields in this area in the last 4 years. Early ripeness provides an opportunity to drill following winter oilseed rape crops earlier, in the quest for increased yield."
