Colette CL is a mid-early hybrid of spring rapeseed developed for Clearfield® technology, characterized by high yield and oil content potential. The hybrid belongs to the 00-type, meaning it is free of erucic acid and has low glucosinolate content, making its product high-quality and in demand. The vegetation period ranges from 93 to 108 days, allowing the hybrid to be grown in various regions of Russia, including the Volga, Ural, West Siberian, East Siberian, and Far Eastern regions. Colette CL exhibits plasticity and does not require high soil types, expanding its cultivation possibilities. Plants are of medium height (90–114 cm) with a 1000-seed mass ranging from 3.8 to 4.6 grams. Colette CL is characterized by strong development and good vitality throughout the vegetation period. The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to lodging (4.3–5.0 points) and pod cracking (3.0–4.8 points), significantly facilitating harvest and reducing yield losses. Synchronization of pod and stem ripening contributes to efficient harvesting, while high resistance to lodging enhances cultivation efficiency. Average yield of Colette CL varies by region and ranges from 10.4 to 25.6 centners per hectare, matching or exceeding standard hybrid levels. Seed oil content reaches 47.5%, 2.6% higher than the standard, ensuring high economic efficiency of production. Due to its characteristics and adaptability, Colette CL is a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality rapeseed harvest under various climatic conditions.
