Aplaus — this is a high-quality winter rape variety with a medium-early maturity and high yield potential. It is characterized by high winter hardiness and increased drought resistance, making it suitable for cultivation on various soil types. Thanks to the Clearfield technology, this rape is resistant to major diseases, including phoma, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss. Recommended sowing dates vary from early (August 10–15) to late (August 25 – September 5), with a seeding rate of 350–550 thousand seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal plant density and vigorous branching.
For successful cultivation of Aplaus, it is important to provide comprehensive plant nutrition. The preparation Tіton Олійні Ріпак, containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, manganese, copper, zinc, boron, molybdenum, and cobalt, helps prevent micronutrient deficiencies at all stages of crop development. Sulfur is especially important as it reduces pod abortion and improves seed quality. Boron strengthens cell walls and accelerates nutrient transport, enhancing disease resistance and improving stem and leaf structure. Manganese and copper help prevent tissue yellowing and necrosis and improve nitrogen uptake, which is crucial for effective fertilizer utilization.
To protect against fungal diseases such as alternaria, downy mildew, root rot, powdery mildew, gray mold, sclerotinia, snow mold, phoma, and black leg, fungicides are recommended. These can be contact, translaminar, or systemic and are used both for prevention and treatment of diseases during cultivation. Application is performed on dry, windless days at temperatures between 15 and 25 °C, ensuring maximum effectiveness and protection of rape crops.
