Variety Positioning
-
One of the latest hybrids from Limagrain and tested over the past three years in Agrii trials where it has delivered very high yields (110% treated, 89% untreated) and high oils (45.7%).
-
It is a step up from Ambassador in some areas with a slightly faster autumn growth habit (7), slightly quicker to grow away in the spring (7) and shows reduced symptoms of Verticillium stem stripe.
-
In many other ways it is very similar to Ambassador and has quickly become one of Agrii’s biggest selling varieties.
-
Suitable for all soils and regions of the UK for drilling from mid-August right through to mid-September.
-
It has an average height (143 cm) and reasonable stem stiffness (8) (8) but a robust PGR programme is still advised. Avoid very fertile sites or very early drilling. It has mid-maturity (6).
-
Excellent all-round disease profiles including robust light leaf spot (7) (6) and good phoma/stem canker resistance (7) (7).
-
There is good evidence from the breeder and Agrii trials that is it less affected by Verticillium stem stripe (6) compared with Ambassador (5) with fewer pronounced symptoms.
-
It also carries the trait for pod shatter resistance.
