2021 Autumn Seed Catalogue

25 OILSEED RAPE Data taken from AHDB 2021/2022 Recommended List Data taken from AHDB 2021/2022 Recommended List Clubroot resistance combined with Pod Shatter resistance and good autumn establishment. This variety has a medium autumn growth habit which makes it suitable for early drilling to early September.

Other cultural control measures should be taken where Clubroot is a problem such as maintaining the soil pH and ensuring good soil structure. WINTER BEANS Yield as % Control 108 Earliness of Ripening 5 Shortness of Straw 6 Standing Ability at Harvest 8 Thousand Seed Weight (g@15%mc) 687 VESPA Vespa is the highest yielding variety on the PGRO RL 2020, 5% ahead of market leader Tundra. It has short straw with good standing ability and a larger seed size than Tundra. With its large seed and pale hilum, Vespa has potential for the export market as well as feed. TUNDRA Tundra is a very high yielding, early maturing winter bean variety with good standing ability and moderately short straw. Tundra gives consistent yields and the hilum is pale in colour.

Yield differences of less than 6.3% are not statistically different. (1-9) A high rating indicates that the variety shows the character to a high degree. The scales of characters of winter beans do not necessarily correspond with those for spring beans. Wizard has resistance to leaf & pod spot (Ascochyta fabae). Varieties Vincent & Norton will be added subject to confirmed NL status. © PGRO 2020 19.11.20
