PR 46 W 20 is a tall winter rapeseed hybrid with medium maturity and one of the most popular hybrids in the seed market of Europe and Ukraine. This hybrid is characterized by high yield and oil content, making it a profitable choice for cultivation. Plants reach an average height of 155-165 cm and have a strong, elastic stem resistant to lodging, which significantly simplifies care and harvest.
The PR 46 W 20 hybrid demonstrates high winter hardiness and drought resistance, allowing successful cultivation almost throughout Ukraine. After seed germination, plant development proceeds relatively slowly, so sowing is recommended within the optimal period from August 15 to August 31. This ensures sufficient nutrient accumulation for successful winter survival without the need for additional nitrogen fertilization. In spring, the plant resumes vegetation in mid-early stages, promoting stable growth and development.
To improve mineral nutrition and enhance resistance to adverse weather conditions in spring, it is recommended to apply foliar feedings using products containing amino acids, phytohormones, and micronutrients such as phosphorus, magnesium, and boron. These measures contribute to strengthening the root system and overall plant development, as confirmed by trials in various regions of Ukraine. PR 46 W 20 is a promising genetic development by Pioneer, combining adaptability, high productivity, and quality seed material.
