Epure
The highest yielding conventional oilseed rape in HGCA Recommended List Trials
- Consistent performance - over sites and years
- Very high gross output figures
- High oil content
- Good seed yield performance
- Very good Phoma resistance
- Strong light leaf spot resistance
- Lodging secure
After two years of official trials, Epure is the highest yielding conventional oilseed rape across the UK.
Epure has been the most consistently high yielding performer over the contrasting 2006 and 2007 trial seasons.
Highest Gross Output
It doesn’t matter whether you compare it to other NL2 newcomers or current Recommended List controls (see graph), Epure has the highest gross output figures in trials.
That’s because Epure combines very high seed yield with an excellent oil content.

Easy to Manage
Epure has similar stem strength and lodging resistance ratings to Castille and forms a stable, easy to harvest canopy.
Epure has better stem canker and light leaf spot resistance than Castille, making it easy to manage as well as a massive step forward in yield.

In terms of development, Epure is an ideal partner to some earlier ripening varieties and allowing spread of harvest date.
