Notably fast spring growth, enabling better compensation than most for any CSFB larvae and pigeon damage.
Neither early nor late flowering helps to minimise frost risks on the one hand while optimising the length of pod fill on the other.
Some of the highest foliar disease ratings available plus strong standing power and stem stiffness for the most trouble-free agronomy.
Demonstrably good resistance to verticillium with particularly good stem health.
Original Dekalb pod shatter resistance, maximising combining flexibility and minimising
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

High Light Leaf Spot Resistance
High level polygenic resistance for the most reliable light leaf spot protection 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.
