    NPZ sees seven varieties included on Recommended List

    The AHDB Recommended List features seven oilseed rape varieties from NPZ, with Maverick topping the list for yield.

    Chris Guest, managing director, says: “Maverick is the highest yielding variety on the new RL, with Turing, Murray and Vegas also featuring very prominently.

    “Crusoe is newly recommended this year for the clubroot resistance category and is a real step change for this market segment for growing on land infected with common strains of clubroot – bringing high seed yield, high resistance to stem canker and TuYV resistance.

    “Resort is a high erucic acid rape (HEAR) and is the only UK Described variety (DL) on the list.

    “The NPZ UK winter oilseed rape portfolio on the AHDB list brings a strong selection to meet growers’ needs, from the top yielding Maverick plus Turing, Vegas and Murray along with our clubroot resistant varieties and specialist HEAR variety.”

    Maverick not only offers good yield potential but is also the first commercially available variety to offer both RlmS and Rlm7 resistance to stem canker, as well as TuYV resistance.

    Product manager Michael Shuldham comments: “Maverick is an exceptional new addition to our portfolio, which will no doubt be very popular with growers for sowing in 2025.  We have already received some excellent feedback on establishment of this year’s crops from across the country.

    “Its broad stem health from the RlmS and Rlm7 phoma resistance genes means that it should be on all grower’s radars for next season’s plantings.”

    The Turing, Murray and Vegas varieties maintain their positions on the list, thanks to their good yield potential and various resistance traits.

    New to the list is Crusoe; a hybrid variety designed for use on land infected with clubroot. It is said to offer a high gross output, as well as resistance to stem canker and light leaf spot, with good stem stiffness and resistance to lodging.
