Data from the AHDB Oilseed Rape Recommended List 2023/24. 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.
"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"
'The vigour side of the Aurelia is just terrific."
"I like to look at varieties which are less volatile and more consistent with their yields. So that's why we chose Aurelia."
"Aurelia has been the best variety grown on our farm for the last three years."
