ES DARKO

ES DARKO — an early winter rape hybrid developed by the breeding company Euralis, distinguished by high winter hardiness and resistance to seed shattering. This hybrid is intended for cultivation in steppe and forest-steppe zones, where it demonstrates high adaptability to various climatic conditions, including drought. The recommended seeding rate is 500,000 seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal plant development and maximum yield.

ES DARKO plants reach a height of approximately 150-160 cm and are characterized by high branching, which promotes the formation of a robust vegetative mass. The vegetative period of the hybrid is early, with a prolonged flowering period that begins around day 121 after sowing. High thousand-grain weight and tolerance to favorable wintering conditions make this hybrid a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve a stable and high-quality harvest.

One of the key advantages of ES DARKO is its high oil content — around 50% — making it especially valuable for the oilseed industry. Additionally, the hybrid features low levels of glucosinolates (<14 mmol) and erucic acid (<0.2%), which improves the quality of the final product. High initial energy for development promotes rapid and uniform plant growth in the early stage. The yield potential of ES DARKO reaches 50 centners per hectare, confirming its high productivity and economic efficiency.
