Parsnip
We have a very strong parsnip breeding programme based at Spalding. We carry out a number of trials each year for crop performance data, and conduct trials in innoculated conditions to help identify more disease resistant varieties. Having our own plant breeding and seed handling facilities enables us to give you a better service.
Palace F1 – NCT
Now firmly established as one of the market leading varieties in the UK, Palace is flexible and can be used for the earliest sowing, through to the sowings for maincrop and late production. Palace produces quality roots suitable for all market types. Palace has the potential to produce high yields with a high percentage marketable. Wedge bayonet shape with a shallow crown.
NEW Picador F1 – NCT
This maincrop variety has shown outstanding potential in commercial trials. Picador has tremendous early vigour, which can offer huge benefits for organic producers with regards to weed control and crop establishment.
Like our standard variety Palace, it can be sown over a wide period and is suitable for all market types. Picador is a high quality variety with good colour and has been identified as having high resistance against canker. Picador carries weight through the root, and has a shallow crown.
Other varieties in our range may also be available as non-chemically treated seed.
