The NORD winter rape variety is a medium-early plant intended for cultivation in various regions, including the North-West, Central, and Central-Black Earth. It is characterized by a vegetation period of about 329 days and an average plant height of about 138 cm, which contributes to the conservation of resources such as fertilizers, water, and fuel. NORD rape has good winter hardiness and lodging resistance, ensuring stable yield even in cool climatic conditions.
This plant is distinguished by a powerful root system reaching a depth of 2-3 meters, which contributes to its vitality and ability to effectively use soil moisture and nutrients. The leaves of the rape are covered with a waxy coating of a bluish or blue-green shade, while bright yellow flowers create an attractive visual effect in fields. After flowering, pods form, 10-12 cm long with many small seeds, the mass of a thousand of which is about 4.1 grams.
The NORD variety demonstrates high yield, with an average figure reaching 16.1 centners per hectare, with maximum values up to 29.3 c/ha in favorable years. The seeds contain about 45.8% fat, which makes this rape valuable for the oil industry. The plant develops slowly in autumn, so it is recommended to sow it in the first terms of the agro-technical period. Due to resistance to diseases and rapid spring vegetation, the NORD variety ensures a stable and high yield under various growing conditions.
