Cromputer is the first of the next generation of clubroot tolerant hybrids.
Significant yield increase compared to existing clubroot types especially in the north.
Solid disease scores and TuYV protection help to make Cromputer an easy variety to grow
High vigour aids fast establishment and a later flowering date protects against late frosts
Clubroot tolerant oilseed rape varieties are capable of tolerating the more common strains of the clubroot pathogen but new strains are evolving constantly so complete resistance is not possible. Good agronomic practice such as longer cropping rotations, maintaining soils at pH7, delaying drilling and reducing the prevalence of hosts such as brassica based cover crops as well as using a clubroot tolerant oilseed rape variety will all help to reduce the damaging effects of this disease.
