The first DSV variety to carry the TuYV protection, TEMPTATION is one of the few varieties to be recommended for the whole of the UK demonstrating the great flexibility of performance from this variety. TuYV has been a well-known threat to oilseed rape for over 30 years throughout Europe, where it is known that this disease can cause a considerable loss of yield. Spread by the peach potato aphid (Myzus persicae) indications are that losses can be as high as 20%. DSV have been breeding varieties with resistance to TuYV for over 10 years, and due to the reduction in availability and restrictions in the use of key plant protection products, genetic protection has become all the more valuable. TEMPTATION delivers a high and consistent yield and an impressive Oil Content of 46.1%. While not a problem in the last year, TEMPTATION has strong Winter Hardiness reducing the impact of late frosts and snow cover. Its aggressive Autumn and Spring Vigour is very noticeable both in official trials and on farm. Independent trials show that TEMPTATION has strong tolerance to Verticillium wilt, It also has good field disease resistance and has proven to be robust in UK conditions, with one of the top untreated performances in official trials. A high performance variety with low input management potential.
