Rapeseed Ryder

Technological potential of Rider winter rapeseed

The Rider hybrid by TerraVita (Overseas) Limited represents a fusion of European genetic research aimed at stability in intensive farming conditions. Developed with the expertise of originators such as Danisco Seed A and SW Seed, this hybrid is built for high-performance agronomy.

Clearfield technology and oil content

The core advantage of this hybrid is its built-in resistance to Clearfield herbicides. This allows farmers to effectively manage weed control without phytotoxic stress on the crop. Combined with an oil content of 45–50%, Rider serves as a highly efficient tool for operations focused on high-quality oilseed production.

Yield potential and plant density

Rider offers a yield potential of 60–70 dt/ha under optimal conditions, with a baseline of 20–30 dt/ha under stress. Achieving these targets requires a seeding density of 900,000 to 1,000,000 plants per hectare. This density provides:

• Robust root system development during the autumn period.
• Strong stem formation, significantly reducing lodging risk.
• Uniform maturation, which is crucial for efficient harvesting.

Choosing Rider means opting for proven genetics, specifically optimized for Clearfield systems and predictable outcomes.
