Pioneer winter oilseed rape hybrids

Our Pioneer winter oilseed rape hybrid range for the 2024 season includes:
PT303: The first winter oilseed rape hybrid to offer growers in the UK and Ireland top level yields with built-in tolerance to Sclerotinia.
PT312: Provides a very high gross output yield with a very high oil content combined with turnip yellows virus resistance and Sclerotinia tolerance.
PT315: This hybrid has given a high gross output yield with a very high oil content. It combines pod shatter resistance with turnip yellows virus resistance.
PT279CL: The first Clearfield hybrid to be added to the AHDB Recommended List and continues to offer high yields with good standing power.
PX131: The only semi-dwarf hybrid on the 2024 AHDB Descriptive List. This unique hybrid provides growers with the greatest ease of combining.

PT303 Protector® Sclerotinia is the first hybrid offered to UK growers with a claim for Sclerotinia tolerance. Its impressive disease package includes TuYV resistance, partial resistance to verticillium stem stripe and a score of 7 for light leaf spot and 6 for phoma.
It’s proven its reliability with a gross output of 101% for the UK on this year’s AHDB Recommended List, with 101% in the East West and 100% in the North region. And with its yields achieved in years when cabbage stem flea beetle activity was very high across much of the UK, PT303 has further proven its ability to deliver. This season, choose the UK’s all-round top performer.

Proven herbicides for oilseed rape weed control
|
|
|
|
Our goal is to support farmers to maximise the potential of their oilseed rape crops by providing proven, reliable herbicides. Click on the links below to learn more about our crop protection solutions.
Belkar®: Post-emergence autumn herbicide for superior control of broad-leaved weeds especially cleavers, cranesbill, fumitory, poppies and shepherd's purse.
Astrokerb®: Powerful dual-action control that is exceptional against blackgrass and key broad-leaved weeds such as poppies and mayweed.
Kerb® Flo 500: Long-standing consistent control of blackgrass and other grass and broad-leaved weeds.
Korvetto®: Wide-spectrum spring applied herbicide. Highly effective on a range of problem broad-leaved weeds, with outstanding control of key weeds such as cleavers, mayweeds and thistles.
Important stewardship advice:
Adopt good propyzamide stewardship principles before drilling your OSR. Field selection, tramline placement and buffer zones should all be considered with the objective of keeping the active ingredient out of watercourses.
Have you seen our new Propyzamide Knowledge Hub? It has been created for oilseed rape growers and advisors and we go “back to basics” on what propyzamide is, how it works, how to apply it to achieve the best outcome, and practical advice on how to use it responsibly. Click here to visit our Propyzamide Knowledge Hub.
For more information and advice about our herbicides, please get in touch with our hotline team, contact details can be found here.
