Building high output OSR resilience on a firm foundation of well-proven yield-protecting traits for the greatest field performance reliability.
Robust initial root and shoot growth for the most reliable and even crop establishment
Faster-than-average leaf development for the most rapid growth away from flea beetle and other autumn challenges
The most rapid lead development for the best results from later planting and the most challenging autumn conditions
The earliest start to growth after winter for the greatest tolerance of damage from flea beetle larvae and other spring challenges
RLM7 supported by polygenic resistance for the most durable phoma/stem canker protection and greatest spraying economy and flexibility
High level polygenic resistnace for the most reliable light leaf spot protection and greatest spraying economy and flexibility
Effective resistance to Turnip Yellows Virus for extra insurance against aphid-borne infections and greatest spraying economy and flexibility
Earlier-than-average ripening for the most timely harvesting and least stressful harvest workload management
Pioneering genetic resistance to pod shattering for the least seed shedding up to and at harvest and the greatest flexibility in harvest timing
Higher-than-average oil content for added market returns to maximise gross output
Pioneering breeding programme with a long record of on-farm success
Extensive field-scale variety testing under commercial growing regimes
Expert knowledge and advice from experienced local agronomy experts
Class-leading establishment, crop protection and data management support
Dive into our specialist hub for the latest research and trial results, up-to-the-moment OSR production advice, valuable cropping intelligence and practical management aids.
Our Dekalb 2023 Establishment Scheme provides you with additional OSR growing support and genetics you can trust
You can take advantage of the scheme if you are growing any Dekalb OSR Variety. Should early flea beetle or other pressures prove too intense, however, you will be credited by your seed supplier with £100/bag.
You can claim for the total establishment failure of blocks of 6 ha or more (either as whole fields or as single uninterrupted blocks within larger fields).
Earned over more than 25 years, Boissay’s reputation as the pre-eminent centre for European OSR breeding continues to grow as it pioneers whole-genome selection for the most rapid, all-round crop performance improvement.
DEKALB OSR varieties are known for high yields, high oil content and outstanding agronomy packages. Reliable in getting out of the ground with vigorous establishment and rapid development, DK OSR also boasts reliable lodging resistance, superior environmental stress tolerance, double phoma resistance, good leaf light spot protection and pod shatter resistance.
