Falcon

German breeding for high yields

Winter rapeseed «Falcon» from the renowned German breeder NPZ Lembke is a solution for farmers prioritizing stability and phytosanitary security of their crops. In intensive farming, where pathogens can destroy a significant portion of potential yield, this hybrid acts as a powerful defensive barrier.

Phytosanitary potential

The key difference between «Falcon» and most alternatives lies in its comprehensive resistance. While many hybrids require regular fungicide treatments to suppress initial infection outbreaks, this variety demonstrates pronounced resistance to a wide spectrum of diseases:

• Alternaria and powdery mildew;
• Cylindrosporium and rust;
• Mycosphaerella and brown leaf spot;
• High tolerance to Septoria.

This makes «Falcon» an optimal choice for farms with limited budgets for chemical protection or those aiming to reduce pesticide load on the soil. Reducing reliance on intensive spraying not only saves costs but also allows for flexible timing of agrotechnical operations.

Who is this hybrid for?

«Falcon» by NPZ Lembke is oriented toward professional agricultural producers operating in temperate and humid climates, where the risk of fungal disease development is at its highest. Its greatest strength is the ability to maintain vegetative mass healthy until harvest, which directly translates into high oil content and thousand-seed weight.

Is there a weakness? Like any intensive hybrid, it requires adherence to sowing dates and high-quality soil preparation. In conditions of extreme drought or significant errors in agrotechnology, the yield potential may not be fully realized. However, by providing a baseline agronomic level, you receive a predictable and reliable result, backed by decades of German breeding work from Norddeutsche Pflanzenzucht Hans-Georg Lembke KG.
