Top-level high gross output hybrid with TuYV

Excellent disease profile with excellent late-season stem health

Variety Positioning

  • The highest yielding variety in both AHDB (107%) and Agrii trials (118%) with a high oil content (46%) (47.8%).  

  • Its performance is slightly ahead of its sister variety, Vegas, probably as a result of the additional Turnip Yellows Virus resistance trait.

  • The European-wide breeder, NPZ, has come to the fore in recent years with improved disease traits and better late-season stem health.  

  • Suitable for all soils with its best performance is in the East and West regions of the UK.

  • It has shown good autumn (8.0) and spring vigour (7.0) in Agrii trials over the past three years and the ability to withstand CSFB larval attack.

  • Relatively tall (159 cm) but it has a very stiff canopy (8). It had medium maturity (5) (6).

  • Disease resistance includes a good light leaf spot rating (7) (6.5) and a combination of RLMs and RLM7 stem canker resistance (8) (9).

  • It appears tolerant of Verticillium stem stripe in both AHDB and Agrii trials but does not carry the pod-shatter resistance trait preferred by many growers.
