Parker is a medium-early hybrid of winter rapeseed, developed in accordance with modern agronomic technologies, particularly the Clearfield technology. It is distinguished by high resistance to diseases, drought, and frost, ensuring stable yields even under adverse climatic conditions. The vegetation period is 305–310 days, allowing the hybrid to successfully develop and achieve a high yield potential of up to 69 centners per hectare. Oil content in the seeds reaches 48%, making Parker attractive for technical cultivation, including biodiesel production and industrial use.
A distinctive feature of the hybrid is its tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides, which simplifies weed control and reduces the cost of crop protection. Parker is suitable for early sowing, does not tend to overgrow in autumn, and does not require growth retardants, simplifying agronomic practices. High drought resistance and resistance to lodging allow maintaining the quality and quantity of the harvest even with delayed harvesting.
The recommended seeding rate varies from 350,000 to 800,000 seeds per hectare, depending on growing conditions. The thousand-seed weight is 4.5–5 grams, indicating good seed quality. Thanks to its characteristics and adaptability, rapeseed Parker is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high and stable yields with high oil content.
