Summary & Outlook
• European oilseed rape acreage has grown enormously over the last decade in correlation with large percentage of hybrid adoption.
• Variety application and registration have turned accordingly towards hybrid varieties.
• Environmental stress increasing. Winters comeback during the last 3 years.
• Winter hardiness complex has shown breeding progress and differentiation.
• Straw Stiffness remains an important agronomic character
• Many further objectives for the Breeding community…!
