✚ High gross output hybrid

✚ Robust disease profile including Turnip Yellows Virus

Variety Positioning

• Continues to be on of Agrii’s biggest selling varieties, proving popular over the past few years with its high consistent yield and strong traits package.

• It continues to perform well on-farm and has produced high yields (98% treated, 91% untreated) and a good oil content (44.7%) in Agrii trials over the past three years.

• It has become the go-to variety for many growers. There is no doubt that the trait conferring resistance to Turnip Yellows Virus is delivering a significant lift in yield of about 7%.

• Suitable for all soils and regions of the UK. Ideal for later drilling with a fast speed of development in the autumn (7) and relatively early to grow away in the spring (7).

• The new N-Flex trait delivers improved nitrogen-use efficiency, especially in situations where nitrogen is limiting. Average height (141 cm) and a stiff canopy (8).

• Disease resistance includes a robust light leaf spot rating (7) (8) and RLM7 stem canker resistance (6) (7).

• It appears susceptible to Verticillium stem stripe in both official and Agrii trials (5) but it still yields consistently in spite of this due to the combination of pod shatter resistance trait and mid-early maturity (7).
