Es Astrid

ES Astrid — a winter rapeseed (Brassica napus var. napus) type 00, characterized by the absence of erucic acid and low glucosinolate content. It is a mid-season variety with late flowering and a vegetative period of approximately 319 days. It is recommended for seed cultivation in the Northwest and North Caucasus regions, where it demonstrates high winter hardiness (3.5 points) and lodging resistance (5.0 points). The 1000-seed mass is approximately 5.8 grams, indicating good seed quality.

The variety features high seed yield — the regional average reaches 7.9 t/ha, which is 3.7 t/ha above the standard, with maximum yields potentially reaching 20.7 t/ha. Oil content in seeds ranges from 42.7% to 46.6%, ensuring high oil extraction, exceeding the standard by 2.5 t/ha. Due to these characteristics, ES Astrid is a profitable choice for oilseed production.

Additionally, the variety exhibits good resistance to shattering (3.5 points), which helps preserve yield during harvest. High winter hardiness and adaptability to various climatic conditions make ES Astrid a reliable option for cultivation in recommended regions. This variety is suitable for both oilseed and green mass production, expanding its application in agriculture.
