Interest in heterogeneous crop populations is growing within both the scientific community, as well as with organic farmers. In order to ensure widespread acceptance amongst farmers, agronomic testing of currently available composite cross populations (CCPs) under organic management is necessary. Eleven CCPs were compared to five commercially grown varieties in a two-year field experiment under organic management (2016/17 and 2017/18). The results over the two experimental years indicate that CCPs are a viable and interesting alternative to commercial varieties within organic farming systems
