Bingo

Focus on Oil Content: Why Choose "Bingo" for Commercial Production

The German breeding approach from NPZ Lembke in the technical crop sector is traditionally focused on consistent results. The flax variety "Bingo" is a tool for farmers aiming for high oil yield per hectare with minimal risks associated with climatic fluctuations.

Agronomic Profile and Field Operations

The specificity of "Bingo" lies in its precise vegetation period (85–100 days), allowing for flexible integration into crop rotation. The plant height of 60–70 cm ensures uniform ripening, which is critical for direct combining. The lack of lodging at later stages helps minimize grain losses often caused by height variability in the stand.

• Crop Economics: The variety's focus on oil production makes it a high-margin product for export-oriented farms. High fat content allows for premium pricing when delivered to processing facilities.
• Technical Efficiency: The medium height allows for the efficient use of existing sprayers and harvesting machinery without the risk of mechanical damage to the crops.
• Crop Rotation: The short vegetation period makes "Bingo" an excellent predecessor for winter cereals, as the field is cleared at optimal sowing times.

Field experience with "Bingo" shows that the variety responds well to intensive nutrient input while maintaining yield potential even with moderate fertilizer costs. During sowing, it is crucial to adhere to seeding rates to form an optimal stand density; this ensures uniform ripening of all plant layers and simplifies the application of desiccants before harvest.
