What’s the biggest hidden threat to yield potential in your wheat crop right now?

In UK conditions, disease can establish long before symptoms become visible — especially after periods of prolonged rainfall.

Strong varietal resistance gives you greater flexibility when pressure builds, from fungicide choice to spray timing and sequencing.

Varieties like Sparkler are bred with exactly that challenge in mind.

Free seed up for grabs!
We’re at Cereals Event 2026 on Stand 1016 — come and find us.

Have a look at how Sparkler’s performing (it’s topping the Recommended List for soft wheat), plus a first look at what’s coming next with Sunspire and Inferno.

Chat to the team, ask what you actually want to know, and see what might work in your fields.

Stand 1016. See you there.

The challenges facing agriculture aren’t slowing down — so our innovation shouldn’t either.

Precision breeding gives breeders the ability to make targeted improvements without adding foreign DNA, cutting development time by up to a decade while delivering varieties better suited to drought, disease and changing climates.

At Elsoms, we’re committed to bringing this science out of the lab and into the field, turning potential into practical solutions for growers, processors and our wider supply chain.

The performance of a crop begins long before it emerges.
It begins with seed quality.

When the foundation matters this much… why risk it?
Toby explains it best in the video below.

Great plant breeding considers the full picture, from how a crop grows and when it’s ready, to how it performs in different conditions, how it’s used by processors, and how it wins over consumers.

That perspective is reshaping purple sprouting broccoli 🟣🥦, with Burgundy sparking interest far beyond its original home as new markets explore what it brings to the table.

Here’s the thinking behind redefining a crop.

If Robin Wood says it’s “tip top”, who are we to argue?

Our new £1.7M processing plant is live! This facility means precision grading, boosted throughput, and even higher seed quality standards for our partners worldwide.

Robin, who retired at the end of this year after decades of driving innovation, cut the ribbon and now leaves behind a legacy that will keep growing for years to come.

Breeding is science, but it’s driven by persistence. Milika and the Elsoms Wheat team kept challenging Blackstone with different timings and conditions. The result is a variety that truly deserves its place on the Recommended List and in your shed.

Weather-proof crops, weather-proof people.

We breed all our varieties to thrive in the toughest conditions.
Turns out, our team share that same resilience!
Panida and Becca conquered the Gourdy’s Pumpkin Run in torrential rain, with a squash in hand.

Huge congratulations to everyone who took part.

Looks like a lot of wheat, doesn’t it?
It’s actually a lot of work disguised as wheat.

Behind every new variety on the AHDB 2026/27 RL is a team of breeders, agronomists, and merchants who make it happen. Thanks for helping us turn trial plots into real world success. Here’s to another year of better crops!

You can read about all our latest additions to the RL on our website now.
