Data from the AHDB Oilseed Rape Recommended List 2024/25. On the 1-9 scales, high figures indicate that a variety shows the character to a high degree (e.g. high resistance). [ ] = limited data. Agronomic features marked with * are breeders perspective.
"One trait we were looking for was TuYV resistance"
"We have Aurelia, Ambassador & INV1155, the best performing varieties are ones which do 'get on and go' in the Autumn. Pod shatter is, in my mind, a very highly valued trait"
