Agronomic information
Kingdom is a fine-leaved variety with medium tillering ability. It is one of the earlier-maturing Group 2 varieties (one day earlier than Solstice).
Drilling dates
Kingdom is suitable for drilling from early September onwards (optimum drilling date from mid September).
Recommended sowing rates
Seed rates are dependent on soil conditions, rotation and time of drilling. The more difficult the environment, the higher the seed rate needs to be to compensate for potential plant loss. Suggested seed rates per square metre are shown below, these should always be used in conjunction with the thousand grain weight.
September to mid-October: 220-250 seeds/m2
Mid-October onwards: 250-275 seeds/m2
Nitrogen application
Kingdom’s high yield means that extra nitrogen may be required to ensure that breadmaking specifications are met.
• Total application in the region of 220-240 kg/ha
• To increase the grain protein level, 40-60 kg of the total N should be applied at flag leaf fully emerged
These figures are for guidance purposes only. You must work with your agronomist when calculating nitrogen rates and timings, taking into consideration end market requirements and the fertility of the field. You should also work within any Defra guidelines / restrictions.
