- Skyfall should be sown from late September to the end of February
Skyfall is a bearded Group 1 milling variety and the only one in its category with resistance to Orange Wheat Blossom Midge (OWBM). While grown for its milling qualities, it is also highly regarded for its agronomic performance. Skyfall is a medium-fast developing variety with low vernalisation requirements, allowing for a wide sowing window from late September to late February. However, later sowings may struggle to meet milling specifications. Its yield is competitive, although its yellow rust rating of 3 is the lowest on the list, so a robust and timely fungicide programme is needed to effectively manage this risk.
