Rapeseed PT264

Hybrid rapeseed PT264 is a high-yielding variety with excellent drought resistance and high resistance to pod cracking. It is recommended for cultivation in the Forest Steppe, Polissia, and Steppe regions, making it a versatile choice for various climatic conditions. Plant height reaches 170-175 cm, with moderate-intensity growth rates in the autumn period and early spring regrowth. The optimal seeding rate is 45-50 seeds per square meter; for late sowing, the rate should be increased to 50-55 seeds per square meter. Growth regulators may be required for early sowing to prevent excessive growth and reduce winter hardiness. PT264 demonstrates high adaptability to growing conditions due to the development of a compact leaf rosette in autumn, which reduces competition within rows and enhances growth regulator effectiveness. This allows successful cultivation with wide row spacing exceeding 30 cm, which is suitable for Strip-Till technology and dotted seeding machines. Rapid development of a strong root system ensures good adaptation to minimal and no-till soil management, which helps preserve soil structure and fertility. The hybrid exhibits increased tolerance to diseases, including sclerotinia and alternaria, confirmed by precise trials. Rapid stem maturation of lower canopy layers and high resistance to pod cracking reduce weed contamination and ensure high-quality, fast harvest with minimal losses. Cultivation technology is standard, facilitating its integration into existing agronomic schemes.
