Limagrain UK - Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle resilient variety LG Avenger is a world record crop


United Kingdom
December 16, 2025

LG Avenger

 

Lincolnshire farmer Tim Lamyman has set a new World Record for oilseed rape of 7.52 t/ha with LG Avenger.

Mr Lamyman grew LG Avenger for the first time last season and mentioned that his main reason for choosing it was its fantastic autumn vigour. He wanted a variety that could be sown later to help mitigate flea beetle risk, and that would get away quickly and establish a strong canopy going into winter.

Supporting the vigour of LG Avenger with a comprehensive nutrition programme is essential to building a big biomass crop and high yield potential, Mr Lamyman believes.

Given the exceptional performance of LG Avenger last season, Mr Lamyman has sown it again across an area of 90 ha.

 

LG Calvin CL

 

The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) recommended list brings new varieties in focus and on the oilseed rape side, LG Calvin CL is newly recommended for the UK as the highest yielding Clearfield hybrid variety, with good autumn vigour, turnip yellow virus (TUYV) and pod shatter (POSH) resistance.
