Bakara

Genetic Resistance and Productivity of Bakara

The 'Bakara' rapeseed variety from the Polish breeding company Hodowla Roslin Smolice Sp.z o.o. is a simple line hybrid designed for stable yields in temperate climates. A key technical advantage of this material is its targeted breeding for resistance to phoma (blackleg), a disease capable of reducing rapeseed yields by 30–50% during outbreaks.

Agronomic Characteristics and Potential

The hybrid's biological potential allows for yields in the range of 40–50 dt/ha under intensive cultivation technologies. The stability of this parameter is ensured by the plant's morphological traits: a sturdy stem and balanced pod formation, which minimizes losses during mechanized harvesting.

• Oil Content: The seeds are characterized by an oil content of 35–40%, making the crop economically attractive for processing facilities.
• Phytosanitary Profile: High resistance to phoma infection of the stem and root system allows for a significant reduction in fungicide applications during the growing season.
• Plant Type: A simple line hybrid, ensuring high uniformity of the crop in terms of height and ripening timing.

Using 'Bakara' in crop rotation is justified on fields with a high risk of fungal infections. The hybrid's genetic code, developed by experts from the IHAR group, enables the plant to efficiently utilize soil moisture and nutrients during critical development phases, ensuring stable grain filling even under fluctuating temperature conditions.
