Late rape seed DOMPTEUR

autumnphoma resistantresistant to lodging

Profile
Dompteur is the highest-yielding variety on the new 2026/27 Winter Oilseed Rape Recommended List. It has performed strongly across diverse trial sites and conditions. The variety includes the phoma blocker trait, combining two complex phoma resistance genes (RLMS and RLM7) to provide broader protection against phoma strains. Dompteur offers high gross output together with elevated oil content and a complete agronomic package, including pod shatter resistance, dual phoma resistance and TUYV protection. It records a UK gross output of 107% of controls, 108% in the North, and an oil content of 46.3%. It scores 8 for light leaf spot resistance and has demonstrated good performance in Verticillium Wilt trials across Europe. Dompteur shows strong autumn growth and pronounced spring vigour, aiding recovery from late pest pressure (including pigeons). It is relatively early flowering without undue risk from early frosts and has a mid-early maturity profile, enabling an early, even harvest while maintaining high yield and oil content.
