KWS Gerardos is a high-yielding winter rapeseed hybrid intended for sowing at medium times. It belongs to the medium-early maturity group and is characterized by high winter hardiness, ensuring reliable overwintering and frost resistance. The plants have medium height, intensive branching, and high regenerative ability, which promotes rapid resumption of vegetation in spring and high yield formation.
The hybrid is distinguished by high resistance to lodging, pod shattering, and seed shedding, as well as to diseases such as phoma. These qualities make KWS Gerardos a reliable choice for various climatic conditions, including Steppe, Forest Steppe, and Polesie. Rapeseed has high oil content and a yield potential of up to 70 centners/hectare, which ensures economic efficiency of cultivation.
To achieve maximum productivity, it is recommended to maintain optimal plant density by the time of harvest — 400-550 thousand per hectare, avoiding overcrowding of crops. Using the hybrid in combination with digital services myKWS and expert consultations allows for effective management of the cultivation process and obtaining stable high yields.
