Harvest Update - 1

Harvest Update Yields from the Fields ● West Sussex 'The Phoenix CL yielded 5t/ha – I couldn’t be happier with the variety and have ordered more for this Autumn' ● Huntington 'The Phoenix CL yielded 4.3 t/ha, which was considerably higher than the other very well known Clearfield we grew (2.7 t/ha)' ● Monmouth ‘I loved the look of the triple layered varieties we tested for the first time this year (TuYV resistance, Pod shatter resistance and RLM7 ) .. . they out-yielded the rest of the varieties on the farm’ ● Lincoln 'It is the first time I have tried DSV varieties and couldn’t be happier. The Dualis yielded 4.9 t/ha and the Dariot yielded 5.2 t/ha. I will be growing both varieties again next year' ● Suffolk 'Our Rapid Development site in Suffolk produced some varying yields through the varieties. Sparrow 4.7766t/ha Dualis – 4.599t/ha Incentive 3.79t/ha Dariot 4.48t/ha 6-7.5% moisture' ● Warwickshire ‘I have tried several Clearfield varieties this year and Phoenix CL was by far the highest yielding…’   ● Newhaven 'The Phoenix CL was the earliest to mature, stood well with a nice canopyit didn't yield as well as our conventional variety but did better than the Clearfield variety which I had last year which fell over and didn't yield' DSV United Kingdom Ltd. 17 Lynn Road, Downham Market Norfolk PE38 9NJ Difficult growing season for growers It’s been an incredibly difficult year for oilseed rape growers with the late, cold spring delaying flowering, and now weeks of low/no rainfall and high sunshine forcing an early harvest for many. Whilst the first part of the year tested varieties’ resilience and ability to recover quickly from the cold conditions, the second part has been all about drought tolerance and the effectiveness of roots in scavenging soil moisture to keep plants growing. Harvest is now revealing the ability of different oilseed rape types to cope with ‘abiotic’ stress. Whilst those forced into early harvest have recorded relatively lower yields than normal, with early reports showing yields down to 2.5 – 3.0 t/ha. Growers able to hang on have not done too badly, although for some moisture contents lower than 6.0% have been a real problem. However, many growers have been able to harvest at the usual time with few problems. Drought tolerance has been a key factor with varieties like Dariot with its deep tap root and branched root structure coping much better than others. Paul Hartley of Poplar Farm, near Wisbech, Dariot stood out against other varieties with noticeably higher yields and quality. “It’s not been a great year all told and we’ve had a lot of pigeon damage to add to the cold winter and hot summer, but we managed to harvest our Dariot in the second week of June and it yielded over 5.0t/ha at an oil content of around 45.6%. “Moisture content was over 7.5% so we have not suffered with moisture problems many have experienced either.” Reports from a series of UK trials have also put the TuYV resistant variety Temptation as the highest yielder early in the harvest, further suggesting the disease could be a growing problem for UK growers. Trials in Europe have shown TuYV can steal up to 30% of final yield. It’s a potentially serious situation as the disease can have a significant effect on both yields and oil content and can rob you of production without you really knowing it. Furthermore, it seems to be moving South from its Northern stronghold, with some reports suggesting TuYV is now endemic across the UK with 2017 and now 2018 potentially seeing
