TOP WINTER OILSEED RAPE RECOMMENDED LIST VARIETY TURING GAINS NATIONAL LISTING

Turing winter oilseed rape is at the top of the new AHDB Recommended List for winter oilseed rape – and is now added to the UK National List to stamp the seal on its full official approval.

Chris Guest, LSPB Managing Director comments: “Turing is an exciting variety for growers with its excellent yield potential, backed up with robust light leaf spot resistance – and outstanding autumn and spring vigour.”

“Combined with our other new varieties this year, Turing gives us the top RL position for the UK as well as Vegas in fourth position, plus Murray at the top of the East/West only region recommendations. All of these bring a new and widened varietal choice for oilseed rape growers.

“We also have our established varieties Respect and Flemming in the East/West region, with clubroot resistant Crome and HEAR variety Resort, to round off our offering.”
