Precision Trait Stack
BritGrain Auto™ combines three Stackatrait™ trait categories, each delivering multiple complementary improvements that compound to create a grain variety purpose-built for UK conditions and premium markets
THC Elimination by Design
Our proprietary cannabinoid modification permanently disables THC production, ensuring <0.01% THC in all plant tissues under all environmental conditions. Zero crop destruction risk. Extended harvest windows without regulatory concern.
- <0.01% THC guaranteed
- Stress-proof compliance
- Zero crop destruction risk
- Extended harvest flexibility
Maximum Grain Output & Premium Oil
Multiple precision trait modifications work together to maximise grain yield and oil quality. Enhanced seed size and weight, increased seed number per plant, near-complete harvest efficiency through shatter resistance, and a premium high-oleic, low-linolenic oil profile with smooth flavour and improved visual appeal.
- 1.8–2.4 t/ha grain yield
- 33–38% oil content, >70% oleic acid
- 95–98% harvest efficiency
- Yellow seed, mild flavour for premium food markets
UK-Optimised Growing & Disease Protection
A suite of climate adaptation traits reduces the germination threshold to ~8°C for mid-April sowing, creates auto-flowering behaviour optimised for UK latitudes (50–58°N), provides semi-dwarf lodging resistance for stable stands, and includes DiseaseGuard+ broad-spectrum powdery mildew resistance — eliminating the primary foliar disease threat in UK hemp.
- 8°C cold germination, mid-April sowing
- 90–110 day predictable maturity
- Semi-dwarf architecture, <5% lodging
- DiseaseGuard+ powdery mildew resistance
How Yield Stacking Works
Multiple complementary trait improvements compound to deliver 1.8–2.4 t/ha — each enhancement adds incremental yield
