DK Platinium

The Clubroot Resistance Choice

DK Platinium is the first Dekalb variety in the UK featuring resistance to Clubroot*

Breeder's View

DEKALB,

"DK Platinium is a restored hybrid and the first variety in the DEKALB stable to demonstrate Clubroot resistance. It has shown high yields with high oil content in independent trials in the UK. This variety also features pod shatter resistance and good resistance to phoma and light leaf spot."

Key Traits

	Pod Shatter Resistance Pioneering genetic resistance to pod shattering for the least seed shedding up to and at harvest and the greatest flexibility in harvest timing.
	Vigorous Establishment Robust initial root and shoot growth for the most reliable and even establishment.
	Rapid Autumn Development Faster-than-average development for the most rapid growth away from flea beetles and other autumn challenges.
	Clubroot Resistance Resistance to common races of this devastating pathogen for increased security where clubroot is a particular threat.
	High Oil Higher-than-average oil content to maximise gross output for added market returns.

Management Guidance

Seed rate should target an even plant stand of 25-30 plants/m2 in spring.
Light Leaf Spot and Phoma should be monitored and treated as required.
Ensure the Green Area Index is accurately determined at the start of spring growth to guide appropriate nitrogen rates for optimal canopy size. Lodging risk with DK PLATINIUM is moderate.
