Rapeseed Bulat

Stability in Spring Rapeseed Production

The "Bulat" variety is a strategic choice for farms focused on predictable outcomes during an intensive field season. Developed by the VNIIMK Federal Research Center in partnership with Jinghaisilu (Beijing), this spring rapeseed variety demonstrates a clear balance between technical manageability and final product quality.

Agronomic Profile and Field Operations

The core practical value of "Bulat" lies in the combination of low erucic acid content and strictly controlled glucosinolate levels (9–10 mMoL). This profile makes the crop highly attractive to processors focused on export markets or the production of premium-grade animal feed additives. The moderate branching characteristic allows for efficient use of plant spacing when standard seeding rates are applied, preventing over-thickening of the stand.

• Yield Optimization: Achieving the potential yield of 20–30 dt/ha requires strict adherence to fertilization protocols, particularly during early growth stages. The variety is highly responsive to nitrogen applications essential for developing a robust branching architecture.
• Operational Flexibility: The moderate branching type simplifies the desiccation process and subsequent mechanical harvesting. The plant shows sufficient plasticity, which is critical when managing harvest schedules in regions with unpredictable weather conditions.
• Economic Efficiency: When selecting this variety, agronomists prioritize harvest "purity," which facilitates smoother logistics and provides a competitive advantage during intake at oil extraction plants.

"Bulat" is suitable for growers looking for a reliable alternative to imported hybrids, providing high-quality production standards without the overhead of specialized agrochemical requirements. It is a practical tool for producers who rely on a proven, classical technology for spring rapeseed cultivation.
