Epure

*The highest yielding conventional OSR*

• Very high Gross Output potential
• High oil content*
• Excellent disease resistance
• Excellent Phoma resistance
• Very stiff straw
• Easy to manage

*High Yields

Following two years of official trials, Epure is the highest yielding conventional OSR across the UK, surpassing any other variety, including the popular Winner variety in view of oil content and yield potential.

Epure Gross Output

High oil content – very profitable to grow

The average oil content of varieties on the HGCA recommended list is 43.6%. (Castille 43.7%) Epure is 45.5%. This equates to an extra bonus of around £9/T.

Variety	Yield %	Yield	Oil Content	Oil bonus	Crop value per hectare	Total crop Value
Epure	106	4.77	45.5	£129.84	£1574.10	£1703.94
Castille	103	4.63	42.8	£64.17	£1527.90	£1592.07

*Excellent Disease Resistance

Scoring a seven for both Light Leaf Spot resistance and Stem Canker resistance

Epure Disease Resistance

Data source: HGCA Recommended Lists database, full data at www.hgca.com.

	Epur e	Fortis	Winner	Castille
Resistance to light leaf spot (1-9)	7	6	7	6
Resistance to light stem canker (1-9)	7	6	4	7

Epure has similar stem strength and lodging resistance ratings to Castille and
forms a stable, easy to harvest canopy.

Better stem canker and light leaf spot resistance than Castille, Epure is as easy to manage and a huge step forward in yield.
