Rapeseed Puncher

The hybrid rapeseed Puncher is a mid-early classic variety distinguished by high, stable yield, especially under drought conditions. It exhibits vigorous development starting in autumn, enabling successful cultivation even with late sowing. Thanks to its well-developed root system, the hybrid can maintain good yields even at critical soil moisture levels. Puncher features homogeneous flowering and maturation, facilitating uniform harvest.

One of the key characteristics of this hybrid is its high winter hardiness and resistance to lodging, confirmed by a winter hardiness rating of 7 points and lodging resistance of 7 points. Additionally, Puncher shows enhanced resistance to phoma due to the presence of the Rlm7 gene, significantly reducing the risk of infection by this disease. The hybrid is also resistant to pod cracking, which helps preserve yield and reduce losses during harvest.

Puncher has high oil content in seeds (rating 8 out of 9) and low glucosinolate levels (1 out of 9), making it attractive for oilseed production. The recommended sowing rate is 450-500 thousand seeds per hectare, with potential yields reaching 50-55 centners per hectare. The hybrid is suitable for both early and late sowing, and it demonstrates high suitability for minimum tillage, simplifying agronomic practices.
