The "Svitlana" variety belongs to white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) and is characterized by early maturation, allowing harvest in 72 days – four days earlier than the standard period. Plant height reaches 122 cm, leaves are green, long, and of medium width, while pods of medium size with a long beak ensure good fruit structure.
Green mass yield is 71.8 c/ha (8.3 c/ha dry matter), while oil content in seeds reaches 30.8% – higher than the standard level of 28.3%. This allows for a gross oil collection of 4.41 c/ha, which is almost twice the average figure. Allyl oil content is 0.24%, and resistance to cabbage leaf beetle and flower weevil makes the variety suitable for a wide range of applications.
The "Svitlana" variety is intended both for the production of oilseed products and for obtaining edible oil and meal. In addition, it can be used as a cover crop and green fodder, thanks to high yield and seed quality. This makes it a valuable resource for farmers striving for efficient land use and product quality improvement.
