Pioneer® WOSR hybrids and seed treatment options
At Corteva, we have a full selection of Pioneer® WOSR hybrids that have been extensively trialled across the UK.
- PT303 is the first winter oilseed rape hybrid to offer growers in the UK and Ireland top level yields with built-in tolerance to Sclerotinia.
- PT312: PT312 provides a very high gross output yield with a very high oil content combined with turnip yellows virus resistance and Sclerotinia tolerance.
- PT315 has given a high gross output yield with a very high oil content. It combines pod shatter resistance with turnip yellows virus resistance.
- PT279CL was the first Clearfield hybrid to be added to the AHDB Recommended List and continues to offer high yields with good standing power.
- PX131 is the only semi-dwarf hybrid on the 2024 AHDB Descriptive List. This unique hybrid provides growers with the greatest ease of combining.
Pioneer Winter Oilseed Rape seed is available treated with Lumigen™ Premium or Lumigen™ Insecticide Premium Powered by Lumiposa™. Both options include the nutrient growth promoter Lumidapt Optima™ and the fungicide Scenic Gold™. The insecticide Lumiposa helps get crops off to the right start. Trials show Lumiposa can lead to a higher plant establishment and fewer cabbage stem flea beetle larvae per plant. In early drilling situations its protection against cabbage root fly attack may be very valuable.
For further information about PT303, PT312 and PT315 and Cereals 2024 highlights, watch our short video featuring Andy Stainthorpe, Sales Manager for Seed and Silage Inoculants.

Choose Zorvec™ active for proven protection against Late Blight
As potato plants grow and develop, they are threatened by many factors, one of the most important of which is fungal disease, which can result in smaller, lower-quality harvests, and in some cases, no harvest at all.
Zorvec™ active is the first active ingredient of its kind - a member of a novel class of fungicides that control diseases caused by oomycetes acting at a unique target site. It also works inside plants to protect new growth. As leaves emerge, Zorvec continues protecting the plant.
Zorvec Entecta™, utilises the renowned Zorvec active formulation to deliver the most flexible Late Blight control and will ensure a clean start to your blight programme, even under the most challenging conditions.
- Formulation: Suspo-emulsion (SE) containing 240g/l amisulbrom + 48g/l oxathiapiprolin - Group 21 + 49 Fungicides respectively.
- Recommended rate: 0.25L/ha

It’s time to get BlueN™ applied to potatoes and fodder beet
The potato and fodder beet crops in Ireland are reaching their optimal growth stage for a BlueN™ application. BlueN contains a bacterium, Methylobacterium symbioticum, that converts nitrogen from a sustainable source, the atmosphere, into ammonium inside the plant. This is then used to build essential amino acids used for plant growth in both potatoes and fodder beet. Use BlueN in addition to your normal fertiliser programme.
In trials applying BlueN on top of a farmer’s potato fertiliser regime, the average yield benefit was 2.5t/ha. In of 80% of trials where there was a positive yield response, the average yield benefit was 3.3t/ha.
Read our article here to find out how potato grower, Andrew Thomas increased his Maris Peer potato yield by 20% with a BlueN application.

Cereals Event 2024 highlights
It was great to see so many folk at the Corteva stand at Cereals Event 2024. Visitors to the stand were able to have great conversations with Corteva staff, take part in our bumper hamper prize draw, and enjoy tasty pizza and coffee. Over the 2 days we served 2,100 slices of pizza and 900 hot drinks. Around 400 visitors to the Corteva stand were on the CPD knowledge trail – we hope you found our posters and team to be very helpful. Our Univoq canvas bags went down a treat with almost 800 given out at the event and a selection of Corteva baseball caps and welly boot bags also going down well. We hope you picked up a Corteva goodie and will get lots of good use from it.
Click here to watch a few highlights from the 2 days.
