VALDEZ

WINTER OILSEED RAPE

"Compact autumn development remaining relatively prostrate which makes it suitable for the early sowing slot. Good disease package and stem health (RlmS) including verticillium resistance which is important for early sowing. Stiff, shorter with a compact canopy - also has a high oil content." Craig Padley, NPZ UK Oilseed Rape Breeder
