*ILVO catalogue

Forage rape germinates quickly and establishes quickly, so it is an excellent weed suppressor. ILVO forage rape varieties are bred and valued for their abundant, disease-free leaves. Forage rape is very winter-hardy, so it is suitable as a catch crop (sown from July to early September). These varieties can also become a source of fodder both in autumn and winter.

• Contains erucic acid (9 points)
• Flowering time – late (7 points)
• Plant height at flowering – high (6 points)
• Total length of plants, including side branches – medium high (8 points)
• 1000-seed weight – low (3 points)
• Tendency to flower in the year of sowing when sowing in spring trials – very low (1 point)
