Rapeseed Axana

Stable yields in challenging environments

The Bayer-bred Aksana hybrid is designed for farmers who prioritize predictability in their fields. As a simple line hybrid, it stands out in the winter rapeseed segment primarily for its harvest reliability. While many high-intensity varieties are prone to shattering if delayed, Aksana demonstrates exceptional resistance, allowing agronomists the flexibility to manage harvest schedules without the risk of significant yield loss.

Agronomic Profile

• Hybrid Type: Simple line.
• Oil Content: 45–50%.
• Glucosinolate Content: 15–16 µmol (meets stringent processing standards).
• Erucic Acid: Low.

The key competitive advantage of Aksana is its balance of high genetic potential (50–60 dt/ha) and resilience. It is a workhorse that remains forgiving of minor agronomic errors. Unlike highly specialized hybrids that require perfect conditions, Aksana adapts well to the soil and climatic conditions found across most rapeseed-growing regions, ensuring consistent results even when the season deviates from the norm.

Who is this hybrid for?

Aksana is an optimal choice for operations looking to hedge their risks. Its low erucic acid content and balanced chemical profile make the grain highly liquid in both food and technical markets. If your strategy is to achieve a consistent 5 tons per hectare without turning your fields into an experimental laboratory, choosing Aksana is a pragmatic and economically sound decision.
