DK Excited
DK Excited provides agronomic flexibility to effectively manage seasonal uncertainties. This versatile variety is suitable for both early and late drilling, adaptable to low and high input systems, and can accommodate both delayed and timely harvesting.
Product details
DK Excited offers a combination of high outputs with great agronomy flexibility, superior Nitrogen Use Efficiency and excellent compensation from seasonal setbacks.
Fully replicated trials show it performs at statistically the same level as today’s most popular TuYV resistant hybrids
Like all Ex-hybrids, it comes with the assurance of the core DEKALB yield-protecting traits of:
Vigorous Establishment
Rapid Autumn Development
Double Phoma Resistance
Strong Standing Power
Proven Pod-Shatter Resistance
It also carries TuYV resistance, shows good tolerance to Verticillium wilt plus Sclerotinia: and has a notably high oil content.
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.
Double Phoma Resistance
RLM7 supported by polygenic resistance for the most durable phoma/stem canker protection and greatest spraying economy and flexibility.
TuYV resistance
Effective resistance to Turnip Yellows Virus for extra insurance against aphid-borne infections and greatest spraying economy and flexibility.
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.
High Oil
Higher-than-average oil content to maximise gross output for added market returns.
