Flash was first launched in 2007 and is now one of the most popular hybrid oilseed rape varieties in the United Kingdom. It took eight per cent of the market share of total rape seed sold in 2008. It has many advantages including a very good resistance to lodging profile, a late flowering season to avoid frosts and excellent powers of recovery in the spring, growing away quickly. As it is a late maturing variety, seed yield and oil content can be increased and growers are more able to spread their workload at harvest. Flash has consistently demonstrated a yield performance above current market standards. It is one of the few varieties recommended for the whole of the United Kingdom and remains one of the highest yielding in the Northern region.
