А 78 Н НХТ is a winter rape variety distinguished by high productivity and adaptability to various climatic conditions. It belongs to late-maturing varieties with a vegetative period of 270–280 days and requires early sowing dates. The rape is characterized by high oil content in seeds, reaching 44–47%, which ensures a significant oil yield during processing. The seeds have high germination rates and are supplied in packages of 2.1 million pieces, allowing for effective planning of sowing areas.
The variety possesses excellent winter hardiness and frost resistance, rated at 8–9 points, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various regions, including the Polesie, Forest-steppe, and Steppe zones. Plants reach a height of about 138 cm and demonstrate high resistance to shattering and drought, which contributes to crop preservation and loss reduction. Additionally, А 78 Н НХТ is distinguished by high resistance to diseases, particularly types of rots, which reduces the need for intensive plant protection.
Rape seeds contain an optimal balance of fatty acids: 5–8% unsaturated, 60–65% monounsaturated, and 30–35% polyunsaturated, with low erucic acid content (about 0.09%), making the oil high-quality and beneficial. The recommended sowing rate is 650–800 thousand viable seeds per hectare, ensuring a yield potential of up to 60 centners per hectare. The mass of 1000 seeds varies from 4.9 to 5.2 grams, indicating good seed quality.
