Rapeseed Palace

Stability and Plant Health: Why Palac is a Pragmatic Choice

Winter oilseed rape "Palac" from the German breeding company NPZ Lembke is a classic example of a simple hybrid, where the focus is not on aggressive yield stimulation, but on reliability. In modern agronomy, where the infectious background of fields is becoming increasingly aggressive, this hybrid acts as an "insurance policy" for the farmer.

Crop Health as the Foundation of Profitability

The main advantage of "Palac" lies in its comprehensive genetic defense. Many hybrids on the market show high yields under ideal conditions but collapse at the first signs of disease. "Palac" possesses marked resistance to three key pathogens that can destroy profitability:

• Phoma: the hybrid minimizes the risk of lodging due to root neck destruction.
• Verticillium: ensures stem integrity, which is critical for full pod filling.
• Cylindrosporium: reduces the need for excessive fungicide treatments.

Sowing Economics: Oil Content

An oil content of 47–49% makes "Palac" an economically attractive raw material for processing plants. Its low erucic acid content meets strict European food oil quality standards. For the agricultural producer, this translates into consistent demand and fewer issues with marketing commercial lots.

Who is this hybrid for?

"Palac" is optimal for farmers focused on stable, predictable results. It reaches its full potential in fields with intensive crop rotation, where the risk of soil-borne infection accumulation is higher than average. This hybrid is forgiving of minor errors in plant protection technology thanks to its own "immune system" and shows predictable results where more demanding varieties might fail.
