Variety Positioning
-

-
This type of growth habit has proven to be the most effective way to cope with cabbage stem flea beetle larval infestations.
-
Consistently high yields (97% treated, 81% untreated, 45.2% oil) in Agrii trials and excellent feedback on its on-farm performance.
-
Suitable for all areas of the UK and all soils including more fertile sites. Suits the main drilling window through to the end of the first week of September depending on soil conditions.
-
Medium height (142 cm), excellent stem stiffness (8) and relatively early (7).
-
Good disease resistance against light leaf spot (7) and phoma/stem canker (8) and average tolerance of Verticillium stem stripe (5).
-
Unlike Amarone, it does not carry the TuYV resistance trait.
