Marathon is the highest yielding variety on the HGCA Recommended List for the East and West region as well as having the second highest gross output.

Marathon offers a package which hasn’t been available to UK growers before, a high yielding variety which is short and early, and stiff strawed.

DSV breeders describe Marathon as a dramatic step forward in terms of yield from their variety Compass which is currently one of the most widely grown hybrids in the UK.
