June 13th and 14th see LS Plant Breeding Ltd (LSPB) return to Cereals at the new venue of Thoresby Estate in Nottinghamshire following their successful first visit in 2022.
“We had a high footfall of growers, agronomists and trade visitors to our stand last year and they were exactly our target audience,” comments Chris Guest, LSPB managing director. “In particular, the great interest in our variety demonstration plots at the stand confirmed the decision to take part in Cereals again in 2023.”

Chris Guest adds, “we will also be demonstrating a selection of our candidate varieties for the first time. For example, Zidane RL candidate winter oilseed rape will be there as well as some very promising coded varieties with exceptional packages of traits which we are evaluating for the future.“We look forward to welcoming visitors to our stand and showing them all that we can offer UK growers and the seed trade.”
