Oilseed rape

Making the difference in your fields.

At the forefront of hybrid oilseed rape breeding for more than two decades, DEKALB® continues to deliver high performance hybrid oilseed rape for UK farms.

Today, with precision breeding and advanced agronomics, we’re developing robust genetics and hybrid varieties ready for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s demands.

Seed and establishment

A strong start is essential for oilseed rape. Rapid establishment helps the crop develop a robust root system and accumulate sufficient biomass before winter. This strengthens its ability to resist pests, diseases, and harsh weather. A strong foundation supports higher yields and profitability by enabling the crop to perform well under stress and pest pressure.

Choosing the right variety is key to successful establishment, affecting key factors such as autumn vigour, speed of germination, and overall plant health. Hybrid varieties are preferred for their vigorous early growth, helping them establish quickly and better withstand pests and challenging growing conditions.
