CROWN

WINTER OILSEED RAPE

"Fast autumn and very fast spring development. Good disease package - combining Rlm7/RlmS - and good stem health. Taller, stiff type and medium to later sowing dates. A high oil content. Crown looks to be the next step forward in the clubroot sector." Craig Padley, NPZ UK Oilseed Rape Breeder
