Variety Positioning
-
Excellent performance in both the AHDB UK recommended list system (104%) and in Agrii trials (107%), and out-performs many other varieties in spite of not having the TuYV resistance trait that is now widely deployed by other breeders.
-
This can probably be attributed to its excellent disease profile and late-season stem health. It also has a very high oil content (45.4%) (46.4%).
Suitable for all soils and regions of the UK. Vegas has a fast speed of development in the autumn (7) and is early vigorous regrowth in the spring (8).
-
Vegas produces a relatively compact canopy (142 cm), very stiff (8) (9) and has medium maturity (5) (5).
-
Disease resistance includes a robust light leaf spot rating (7) (7) and RLMS stem canker resistance (7).
-
Vegas has excellent tolerance to Verticillium wilt (7) with noticeably much greener stems compared with many other varieties late in the season and this is where the extra yield comes from.
-
While Vegas does not have the genetic pod shatter or TuYV resistance traits, it has one of the highest Variety Sustainability Ratings on the Agrii Advisory List.
