DK Exsteel

✚ One of the most consistent hydrids over the past few years

✚ Fast vigorous growth habit in the autumn and spring

Variety Positioning

• One of the Agrii’s most consistent varieties over the past nine years in spite of not having the TuYV resistance trait and this can be largely attributed to its vigorous growth habit, phoma and pod shatter resistance.

• Starting to become outclassed and is likely to be superseded by DK ExEdge which was introduced last autumn.

• High gross output (100% treated, 90% untreated), and a high oil content (46.1%).

• Suitable for all soils and all regions.

• It has been proven in Agrii trials to perform across the UK especially in cabbage stem flea beetle affected areas.

• Consistently one of the most vigorous hybrids in the autumn (8) and quick to move away in the spring (7).

• Tall (162 cm), reasonable lodging resistance (5) and medium maturity (6).

• Average resistance against light leaf spot (5) and RLM7 stem canker resistance (7) and good tolerance to Verticillium stem stripe in Agrii trials.

• It also carries the pod shatter resistance trait but it is not resistant to Turnip Yellows Virus.
