Profile
Lumen is a strong performing variety on the new Descriptive List. It features a high gross output 100% ensuring maximum return for growers. Lumen has been grown on UK farms since 2017.

Lumen has a very high seed yield of 100% combined with a high oil content of 44.3% but by far its strongest asset is its early vigour in the spring, quickly establishing a strong rooting system and early leaf set helping to ensure maximum plant survival against potential flea beetle attack.
