POSTER: Oilseed rape variety choice (2025)
Download our 2025 winter oilseed rape variety, usually seen at Niab open days and the Cereals Event stand. The variety board is Niab's analysis of varieties for maximising yield and spreading risk, based on published ratings and personal observations for the 2024/25 season. For the full datasets refer to the AHDB Recommended List.
