Variety Positioning

  • Introduced in 2021 as the successor to Ambassador it has delivered very high yields (106% treated, 98% untreated) and high oils (46.8%), it is Agrii’s second biggest selling variety.  

  • It is a step up from Ambassador with slightly faster spring regrowth (7) and improved Verticillium stem stripe tolerance.

  • In many other ways it is very similar to Ambassador with vigorous autumn growth (7.9) and early maturity (5) (8).

  • Suitable for all soils and regions of the UK for drilling from mid-August through to mid-September.

  • It has an average height (156 cm) and average stem stiffness (7) (5), so a robust PGR programme is advised.

  • Avoid very fertile sites or very early drilling.  

  • It has good light leaf spot (7) (6) and average phoma resistance (5) (8).

  • There is good evidence from Agrii trials of improved late-season stem health compared with Ambassador and other varieties.  

  • It also carries the trait for pod shatter resistance.
