RIVALDA OFFERS TOP OUTPUT FROM A CONVENTIONAL OSR

With a gross output of 103% of controls, Rivalda is the equal highest yielding conventional variety on the 2013/14 East/West Recommended List.

It is the first variety to come out of KWS’ oilseed rape breeding programme in Germany and has given consistently high yields over four years of official trials.

“Rivalda’s treated gross outputs over the four years range from 102-105, showing that it is equally at home whatever the seasonal stresses that are imposed on it.

“Rivalda performed well in last season’s difficult conditions,” says KWS UK oilseed rape specialist, Tom Dummett.

“Its consistently high yields come from early flowering and late maturity, which provides a long, productive pod-fill period.”

A medium biomass variety, Rivalda has a 7 for stem stiffness and 8 for lodging.

“We see it as an ideal choice for growers across England, from Scotch Corner south, who favour conventional varieties and who are looking for a strong partner to the likes of DK Cabernet.”
