Rapeseed Cocktail CL

Technological Excellence in Winter Rapeseed by NPZ Lembke

German breeding by NPZ Lembke has long set the benchmark for the European agricultural sector, and the "Koktel KL" (Cocktail CL) hybrid stands as a prime example of a systematic approach to yield stability. This simple winter rapeseed hybrid was engineered for growers who prioritize predictability and weed control within intensive farming systems.

Adaptability to the Clearfield System

The core feature of this model is its full compatibility with the Clearfield production system. The application of imidazolinones in "Koktel KL" fields allows agronomists to effectively manage field weed pressure, including hard-to-eradicate species, without inducing stress on the crop. This positions the hybrid as an essential tool for fields with high weed infestation levels, where conventional control methods often fall short.

Biological Protection and Grain Quality

The hybrid's reliability is bolstered by its robust resistance to key pathogens that limit rapeseed productivity across Europe, specifically verticillium wilt and phoma. The genetic potential of NPZ Lembke ensures vigorous early growth and the ability of the plants to bypass critical infection stages of fungal diseases.

The grain quality meets modern processing standards: the hybrid is characterized by a low erucic acid content. This ensures strong market demand for both vegetable oil production and food ingredients. For the producer, "Koktel KL" represents a balance between ease of management and consistent marketable yield, backed by the enduring reputation of the German brand.
