Kyivskyi 18

Domestic breeding for Clearfield technologies

"Kyivskyi 18" is the result of long-term efforts by breeders at the M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden. In a market saturated with foreign hybrids, this winter rapeseed offers farmers a rational balance between seed costs and production efficiency.

Technological potential

The key feature of this variety lies in its genetic resistance to imidazolinone herbicides (Clearfield system). This allows farmers to effectively control a wide range of weeds, including problematic species like broomrape, without fearing phytotoxicity to the crop itself. This approach significantly reduces field risks and optimizes costs for herbicide protection during early growth stages.

Agronomic highlights

Adapted to the climatic realities of Ukraine, "Kyivskyi 18" demonstrates excellent winter hardiness and a dynamic start to spring vegetation. The originator has focused on stress tolerance, which is critical for achieving stable yields under conditions of unpredictable rainfall and temperature fluctuations. This variety is popular among farms prioritizing intensive technologies while supporting domestic production.
