Rapeseed PS304

The PS304 rapeseed hybrid is a winter-type spring hybrid characterized by the absence of erucic acid and low glucosinolate content, making it particularly valuable for producing high-quality seeds. It is recommended for seed production and is included in the State Register for the West Siberian region. Plants of this hybrid reach a height of approximately 96 cm, have a long stem, and a medium vegetation period of about 94 days, ensuring stable crop development under regional conditions. The 1000-seed mass is 4.1 grams, and the average seed yield reaches 22.6 centners per hectare, with oil content in seeds at 44%. One of the key advantages of the PS304 hybrid is its high resistance to pod cracking, which significantly simplifies harvesting and reduces seed losses. Uniform maturation of different plant tiers and the ability of pods to withstand delays allow for mechanized harvesting even under adverse weather conditions such as heat and water deficiency during grain filling. Rapid water release from green mass facilitates efficient and safe combine operation, improving overall productivity and harvest quality. The PS304 hybrid demonstrates excellent adaptability to various soil types and possesses genetic resistance to stem and root neck phoma due to the presence of the Rlm7 gene. This provides additional protection against diseases and contributes to stable yields under challenging agroclimatic conditions. Early flowering and early maturation make this hybrid an optimal choice for regions with variable climates and drought risk, enabling farmers to achieve high-quality yields with minimal risk.
