High gross output clubroot variety

Stiff, good light leaf spot resistance and early maturity

Variety Positioning

  • There continues to be strong demand for varieties with clubroot tolerance. This may reflect more cases of clubroot driven by the acidic soils in the North, wetter summers and stubble turnips in mixed farming areas or other brassicas in the rotation (e.g. in cover crops).

  • Crome is valued for its consistent yield (96% treated, 86% untreated) with a very high oil content (45.8%).

  • It has a reasonable speed of development in the autumn (6) and grows away quickly in the spring (7.5).

  • It is of moderate height (143 cm), with a stiff canopy (8) (8) and medium maturity (5) (6).

  • Reasonable light leaf spot resistance (6) (5) but weak against phoma/stem canker (3), so this needs to be monitored in the autumn and spring and sprayed for, as appropriate.

  • Excellent tolerance of Verticillium wilt (7).
