Crusoe

✚ Highest gross output clubroot variety

✚ Stiff canopy and good light leaf spot resistance 

Variety Positioning

• Introduced last year and limited only by seed supply, this is the likely successor of Crome which has been the mainstay of the clubroot area nationally.  

• Very high yields (104% treated, 99% untreated) and high oils (46.2%) put it 12% ahead of Crome.  

• Progress on yield has been achieved through improved vigour, disease resistance and the adoption of TuVY genetics.

• It has a reasonable speed of development in the autumn (8) and grows away quickly in the spring (7.4).

• Average height (157 cm), with a stiff canopy (8) (7) and early maturity (5) (8).

• Much improved light leaf spot resistance (6) (5), phoma/stem canker (7) (8) and moderately resistant to Verticillium stem stripe.  

• It does not carry the pod shatter resistance trait.
