Rapeseed MADRIGAL

Boosting Yields with Precision and Quality

The «Madrigal» spring rapeseed hybrid, a product of collaboration between the All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops (VNIIMK) and Jinghaisilu (China), is engineered for high-input agricultural operations. With a yield potential ranging from 60 to 70 c/ha, this hybrid is designed for growers who prioritize intensive management, balanced fertilization, and rigorous crop protection strategies.

Key Technical Specifications

• Oil Content: A stable range of 40–45% ensures economic efficiency for processors and consistent demand from crushing plants.
• Quality Profile: Featuring low erucic acid and glucosinolate levels between 9–10 mmol, Madrigal meets international standards for modern «00»-type rapeseed, facilitating access to premium and export markets.

Agronomic Application in the Field

Success with Madrigal relies on optimizing the initial growth stages. In temperate climates, the hybrid responds exceptionally well to starter phosphorus fertilizers. Due to its high productive ceiling, this variety functions effectively as a cornerstone of intensive crop rotation, leaving behind significant biomass and suppressing weed pressure when combined with a robust herbicide regimen.

Management teams should prioritize pest monitoring during the seedling phase and critical development stages. Since Madrigal is built for high yield capacity, it performs best on level terrain where automated monitoring and multiple, timely field interventions are feasible. Proper planning for harvesting is essential to fully capture the potential of this high-performing hybrid, ensuring that the heavy seed load is managed with minimal waste.
