Variety Positioning

In early stage trials in the UK but already approved in Europe and seed will be available this autumn. Agrii’s trials in 2019 showed that the combination of its vigorous autumn growth and early spring regrowth can off-set the damaging effects of the Cabbage Stem Flea beetle larvae.
Suitable for all regions including the North and all soil types. Medium height (156 cm) with excellent lodging resistance (8), stem stiffness (8), early flowering (6) and medium maturity (5). Good all-round disease resistance against Light leaf Spot (6) and Phoma/Stem Canker (9).
It carries the pod shatter resistance gene.
