HEMMA Rapeseed is a high-quality hybrid with medium-maturing periods and high yield potential, reaching up to 60 centners per hectare. This variety is distinguished by high winter hardiness, enabling it to successfully overwinter in various climatic conditions, including the Forest Steppe and Polissya. HEMMA Rapeseed is resistant to common diseases such as phomopsis, sclerotinia, and alternaria, and has the ability to quickly recover in spring after winter cold. The recommended sowing rate varies from 350,000 to 600,000 plants per hectare depending on sowing dates, ensuring optimal crop development and maximum productivity.
Moreover, HEMMA rapeseed is valued as an effective green manure and honey-producing crop. It rapidly accumulates significant green mass even during cold autumn and spring periods, contributing to soil enrichment with organic matter, phosphorus, and sulfur. After decomposition, rapeseed biomass becomes easily assimilated fertilizer, enhancing soil fertility and improving its structure. For winter rapeseed, optimal sowing dates in Central and Western regions fall in the second decade of August, while in Southern regions — in the third decade. Plants should enter winter at a height of about 25 cm with 6-8 leaves, ensuring successful overwintering.
HEMMA rapeseed also exhibits high resistance to agro-climatic stresses, including drought and frost, reducing cultivation risks and allowing resource savings. Due to its resistance to pests such as flea beetles, rape flea, and cabbage aphid, this hybrid helps preserve yield even under adverse conditions. For additional protection, it is recommended to avoid sowing on fields previously planted with cruciferous crops. High resistance to pod cracking and lodging ensures seed preservation and crop quality. Rapeseed sowing can be conducted from late March to August, with early sowings typically yielding higher yields.
