Part of an International plant breeder based in Germany and with subsidiaries across the world, DSV UK operates from it breeding and trials centre at Wardington in Oxfordshire comprising of around 50ha of land used to breed winter wheat and forage grass varieties and for National List trials of wheat and grass.

DSV is predominantly known for its oilseed rape varieties with their signature high gross outputs combined with low growing costs alongside important agronomic features such as protection from TuYV and phoma stem canker.

But in recent years, we have also achieved several firsts within the cereals sector, especially with world record breaking Group 4 Hard wheat Champion, which has previously topped the AHDB RL and harvest results. Also with Oxford which continues to produce strong yields on the RL with its complete agronomic package.

As well as high yielding maize varieties such as LiRoyal and a full range of grass and forage options, DSV also offers cover crop varieties as straights for the UK.
