The Tillage Edge

John Dunne, Arable Trials and Agronomy Manager at Goldcrop, joined the Tillage Edge podcast this week to chat about the varieties coming through the system. 
 
John first discusses the array of existing and new varieties that were on display at the Goldcrop Open day in Cork. 
 
He outlines the disease pressure in all cereals but is particularly happy that the new winter barley varieties are standing up well against BYDV.  
 
There are also a number of winter oilseed varieties coming through which have multiple stacked traits including resistance to pod shatter, light leaf spot and sclerotinia.
