ONTARIO is a very high yielding, conventional oilseed rape variety with good resistance to lodging. Ontario has exceptional resistance to light leaf spot which makes it suitable for northern areas of the UK, and is later flowering, very beneficial for early drilling and where late frosts are a concern.
