00 BV 156 MS is a winter rape variety (Brassica napus var. napus L.) characterized by high yield and excellent agronomic traits. The plant has medium stem length, including side branches, green leaves with medium leafiness and weak serration of the edges. Flowering occurs in medium terms, petals are short and narrow, pods are without a beak or with a medium-length beak, and the pedicel is short. Plant height reaches about 138 cm, which ensures good resistance to shattering.
The variety is characterized by high productivity; the average yield in European conditions reaches 5.5 tons per hectare, and the productivity potential can reach 60 centners per hectare. The recommended sowing rate is 650,000-700,000 viable seeds per hectare. 00 BV 156 MS has high disease resistance, especially to various types of rots, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in the Polesye, Forest-steppe, and Steppe zones. The oil content in seeds is about 46.7%, while the erucic acid content is low—about 0.09%, making the oil suitable for food use.
Rapeseed oil obtained from the seeds of this variety is widely used in the food industry for the production of margarine, spreads, and other fatty products. Due to the low erucic acid content, the oil is safe and beneficial for consumption. In addition, rape is a valuable source of proteins and carbohydrates, which expands its application possibilities. The variety requires early sowing dates to achieve maximum productivity and resistance to unfavorable conditions.
