Rapeseed ES DARKO

Stable Yields in Challenging Conditions

The French breeding expertise of Euralis Semences is evident in every detail: from early emergence to harvest. For an agronomist, predictability is the gold standard, and this hybrid delivers exactly that.

Agronomic Performance and Growth

Reaching heights of 150-160 cm, the plant exhibits vigorous branching. This forms a dense canopy, allowing for optimal field coverage at a seeding rate of 500,000 seeds per hectare. The extended flowering period of 40-50 days is a major tactical advantage. Even in an unpredictable spring, this buffer helps the crop capitalize on favorable weather windows to maximize pod set.

Crop Health and Potential

One of the biggest headaches for any grower is disease pressure that can wipe out a crop in weeks. With ES Darko, this is mitigated at the genetic level: strong resistance to phoma and cylindrosporium is a key trait. This significantly cuts costs on additional fungicide applications, directly lowering your production cost per ton.

• Oil content: 45-50% — an excellent benchmark for processors.
• Glucosinolates: 13-14 mmol, with low erucic acid — the standard for high-quality raw materials.
• Yield potential: 50-60 dt/ha is consistently achievable under good management.

In the field, this hybrid remains stable, avoiding the need for complex, high-maintenance management protocols. It is the choice for the professional who demands reliable performance, premium grain quality, and solid scale readings at the end of the season.
