HOW TO OPTIMISE THE USE OF YOUR VARIETY
Sowing
Depending on location, we would advise the optimum sowing window for RGT Goldfinch is mid-September to the end November. It is capable of being sown until the end January but our guidance is that sowing after the end of November is likely to limit the chance of achieving the best potential from this variety.
