The 26/27 Winter Oilseed Rape Recommended List (RL) includes new editions to every category.
Hybrid Dompteur from DSV is the highest-yielding variety on the new list, in both the East/West and North regions. It also has resistance ratings of 8 for both light leaf spot and phoma stem canker, as well as having pod shatter and TuYV resistance.
NPZ’s matches Dompteur for yield in the East/West region and has disease resistance ratings of 8 for both light leaf spot and phoma stem canker but North region yield isn’t as good.
KWS Domingos is slightly lower yielding in both regions and has resistance ratings of 7 for light leaf spot and 8 for phoma stem canker.
Three conventional varieties made the list. Bachus, from Jennaway Consulting, is a new conventional variety with a UK recommendation. It has the highest-yielding conventional open-pollinated variety for both RL regions with a similar disease resistance package to existing conventional varieties.
LG Clavin CL is a new herbicide-tolerant variety. Yields are close to Bachus and it has good light leaf spot resistance for this group, but data suggests it is susceptible to verticillium wilt.
Crios is a new variety for the North, with a specific recommendation for resistance to the common strains of clubroot. It is not the highest-yielding clubroot-resistant variety in this region, but it has the highest light leaf spot resistance of any variety of this type.
