Variety Positioning
-
Agrii’s third biggest selling variety last year after being introduced three years ago.
-
It continues to perform well in trials (101% treated, 93% untreated, 46.1% oil) and on-farm in spite of it coming off the UK Recommended List.
-
It has performed at the top-level of not having the TuYV resistance or pod shatter resistance.
-
This can be attributed to its excellent disease profile and late-season stem health.
-
Suitable for all soils and regions of the UK. Vegas has a fast speed of development in the autumn (8) and moderately vigorous in the spring (7).
-
Vegas produces a relatively compact canopy (148 cm), very stiff (RL 8), good lodging resistance (RL 8; Agrii 9) and has medium maturity (RL 5; Agrii 5).
-
Disease resistance includes a robust light leaf spot rating (RL 7; Agrii 7) and RLMS stem canker resistance (RL 9; Agrii 8).
-
Vegas has reasonable tolerance to Verticillium stem stripe (I) with noticeably greener stems compared with many other varieties is where the extra yield comes from and less prone to pod shatter, as a result.
