DARLING Autumn Seed Profile DARLING has shown that it can deliver high Gross Output (100%) and high Oil Content (46.0%), keeping its spot on the AHDB Recommended List. DARLING has now been grown on UK farms for over 3 years and proven to be a firm favourite. It also has good agronomic features with an upright canopy that demonstrates no weakness to lodging (8) and a strong Stem Stiffness score (8) from a medium – tall variety, standing at 153cm. One of its particularly noticeable features is its outstanding Autumn Vigour as well as having Turnip Yellow Virus (TuYV) Protection, Pod Shatter Resistance, and the RLM7+ for multi-gene resistance to phoma stem canker. It is one of the first varieties to have these pioneering three traits stacked together. Developed as a direct result of the Neonicotinoid ban and the need to move towards less intensive and more environmentally friendly production methods, DSV triple-layer oilseed rape takes as much of the guesswork out of growing the crop as possible.

Furthermore, DSV triple-layered varieties are built on our long established genetic foundation of exceptional early vigour to drive establishment and allow crops to grow through disease and pest threat, a deep taproot to lay the foundation for high yields and optimum plant architecture to capture as much light as possible. All specified information is given to the best of our knowledge and belief, but without guarantee on completeness and correctness. Despite care we cannot guarantee that the described characteristics are repeatable / comprehensive in agricultural practice in each case. DSV United...
