NINJA
Shorter, early maturing variety
Ninja joins the new PGRO DL 2024. It is a shorter variety with excellent standing ability and the earliest maturity on the PGRO DL. Ninja produces higher yields than Tundra
and other early varieties and we believe its yield potential is higher.
It is a strong choice for higher fertility, wetter areas of the UK.
Ninja has the highest protein content on the DL and large seed and should prove popular for all markets.
