Mainstar is a highly palatable modern early maturity rape with quality frost resistance and excellent regrowth potential after grazing.
It is a very versatile brassica with extremely good aphid tolerance.
The main strength of Mainstar is the early maturity leading to the potential for earlier grazing which will extend the grazing period for
stock.
Mainstar is suitable for a wide range of soil fertility and environmental conditions.
