Rapeseed Harvard

Working with KWS Harvard: Performance and reliability

It’s a variety that handles intensive management well and consistently delivers expected results under variable field conditions.

Planting density and field management

The Harvard hybrid displays excellent uniformity. Standing at 160–170 cm, the plants show remarkable lodging resistance, which is critical during harvest. Even at the higher end of 600,000 seeds per hectare, the crop maintains its structure, making it much easier to process through the combine without excessive losses.

Disease control and yield protection

Previous varieties required aggressive fungicide applications to keep the crop healthy before winter.

Return on investment

The grain quality is consistent, and the oil content is impressive. If you are running an intensive farming operation and need a hybrid that won’t let you down during the critical growing stages, Harvard is a predictable and profitable choice.
