Main advantages
- Phoma (genes RlmS and Rlm12) — for a maritime climate

- Top score of 9 for yield — maker's data
- Branched roots — reliability in frosty winters

Overview
About this product
The maker NPZ describes Karat as a long-stemmed, robust variety with a healthy stem up to harvest. The new phoma resistance genes RlmS and Rlm12 give reliability in a maritime climate, and light leaf spot resistance (LLS-A) protects in mild, wet winters.
Flowering is later (score 4); plant height scores 6 and stem ripeness 5. The strongly branched root system gives reliability in frosty winters.
A low tendency to stem elongation in autumn allows flexible sowing dates. The maker advises applying growth-regulating fungicides sparingly, very early or during flowering.
