Rapeseed Alex

Alex is an winter rapeseed developed by the French company Limagrain, distinguished by its high winter hardiness and resistance to major diseases such as phomopsis, sclerotinia, and cylindrosporiosis. This mid-early hybrid exhibits resistance to pod shattering, which contributes to yield retention and improved quality. Rapeseed Alex is recommended for cultivation in the Polissia and Forest-Steppe regions, where it demonstrates stable performance even under drought conditions.

The hybrid features a high yield potential, reaching up to 7.1 t/ha, with a recommended plant density at harvest ranging from 400 to 900 thousand plants per hectare. The optimal sowing rate falls within the range of 400-500 thousand seeds per hectare. The oil content in Alex rapeseed seeds varies from 47 to 51%, while glucosinolate levels do not exceed 15 g/mmol, making it attractive for use in the food industry.

To achieve maximum productivity, it is essential to follow recommended sowing dates and provide proper crop care. Alex rapeseed seeds are suitable for various soil types and climatic conditions, making this variety a versatile and reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality yields.
