Gerald

The winter rapeseed hybrid Gerald is a high-yielding and cold-resistant variety, distinguished by its resistance to spring frosts and lodging. This medium-early hybrid, selected by Lembke, has a high oil content and is suitable for late sowing, making it a versatile choice for various agro-climatic zones, including the Steppe, Forest-Steppe, and Polесье. The recommended seeding rate ranges from 450,000 to 550,000 seeds per hectare, depending on the sowing time, ensuring optimal plant development and high yields.

Gerald possesses genetic immunity to turnip yellow mosaic virus (TuYV) due to the presence of the Rlm7 gene, as well as resistance to verticillium and other critical diseases. These characteristics contribute to excellent regeneration after stressful conditions and minimize yield losses. Additionally, the hybrid demonstrates resistance to pod cracking, which enhances seed quality and preservation during harvest.

Gerald seeds are ideal for cultivation on medium and heavy soils, ensuring a stable and high yield of rapeseed with a potential of up to 60 centners per hectare. Due to its qualities, this hybrid is an excellent choice for farms focused on producing high-quality rapeseed oil and achieving stable production under various climatic conditions.
