Einstein

The hybrid winter rape Einstein is a modern mid-early variety specifically developed for intensive cultivation techniques. It features high winter hardiness, ensured by low stem growth tendency and minimal risk of apical bud desiccation in autumn. This allows for early sowing without risk of damage, extending the sowing window and optimizing preceding crop harvest, which is especially important in regions with early vegetation termination and dry Augusts. In spring, the plant develops moderately, reducing the risk of frost damage, while the formation of a strong leaf rosette promotes lateral branching with a robust pod layer, ensuring high yield. Einstein has high compensatory potential and lodging resistance, particularly relevant when using high nitrogen doses. The hybrid does not require high autumn growth regulators, and the use of chlormequat chloride and its derivatives is not recommended. In spring, focus should be on fungicidal effects of treatments, as the variety has high lodging resistance. High synchronicity of pod and stem maturation allows for rapid harvesting with minimal yield loss. The Einstein variety is suitable for cultivation in the Northwestern and North Caucasus federal districts, as well as in central Russia and other regions with a warm climate. The vegetation period is approximately 266 days, and the 1000-seed weight is 4.6 grams. The hybrid exhibits high nitrogen uptake efficiency and high oil content in seeds — 49.1%. Due to its dense hull and juicy pods, rape Einstein can be used in food industry and for preparing various dishes.
