Bred in New Zealand by PGG Wrightson, Avon is available in the UK from Germinal Seeds distributors.
In addition to its superior dry matter yield, Avon forage rape has demonstrated in trials exceptional resistance to club root and good resistance to mildew.
The variety has also recorded a favourable leaf-to-stem ratio (45:55) in official trials when compared with other commonly used varieties.
Forage rape can be sown in most parts of the country between May and August to provide cost effective grazing for cattle and sheep.
