What is WintaLin?
WintaLin is a new generation of Autumn-sown
linseed - an exciting new break crop for UK arable farmers.
WintaLin is sown August / September and has an early, hassle-free harvest in mid July/early August (between rape and wheat). Harvesting WintaLin in long summer days is straightforward and totally different to harvesting Spring linseed in September.
WintaLin is Winter hardy - no crops have been lost due to frost kill, even in the severe winters recently. Eighty per cent of the French linseed crop is now WintaLin and this is grown in Central/Northern regions, which generally have colder and more severe Winters than in England.
WintaLin has good resistance to lodging, which ensures an easy harvest and helps to maintain yields.
WintaLin has a yield potential of up to 3.5 tonnes/hectare and all properly managed crops should achieve well in excess of 2.5 tonnes/hectare.
WintaLin has been developed on a commercial scale in the UK over recent years and has proved to be consistent, reliable and profitable. It is suitable for growing throughout the country.
