Rapeseed Geros

The winter rapeseed variety Geros is a 00-type line variety, characterized by the absence of erucic acid and low glucosinolate content, making it valuable for producing high-quality oil. This mid-season variety has a vegetative period ranging from 86 to 120 days and exhibits stable yields even under unstable climatic conditions. Medium-height plants with high lodging resistance facilitate mechanized harvest and reduce yield losses.

Geros is recommended for seed production and is included in the State Register of Selection Achievements in several regions of Russia, including the Northwestern, Central, Central Chernozem, Volga, and West Siberian regions. The variety demonstrates good yield performance, reaching 30–34 c/ha in various regions such as Tyumen, Lipetsk, and the Republic of Tatarstan. Rapid plant emergence and growth help effectively suppress weeds, while a high number of pods per plant ensures a stable, high yield.

Seeds of the Geros variety have a 1000-seed mass ranging from 3.0 to 4.9 grams and contain 40.7–47.5% oil, making this variety attractive for oilseed cultivation. The breeder is the company Lundsgaard, registered since 2006, and recommended for cultivation in the Polesie and forest-steppe zones. Due to its agronomic traits and quality, Geros is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high-quality and stable winter rapeseed yields.
