Syngenta S 02 XB 016 DV rapeseed is a mid-late winter rapeseed hybrid with a high yield potential of up to 50 c/ha. This hybrid is characterized by high winter hardiness and excellent drought resistance, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic conditions. The plants reach a height of 160–170 cm, exhibit fast spring growth, and show medium-intensity development in autumn. Furthermore, the hybrid is resistant to cylindrical spot and has high oil content, contributing to the production of high-quality raw materials for processing.
Rapeseed is widely used in industrial, food, and feed sectors. Oil extracted from the seeds is rich in essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic and linolenic acids, making it a valuable product that does not lag behind olive oil in quality. Green mass of rapeseed is used in animal husbandry due to high feed indices, including protein, vitamins, and mineral content. After oil extraction, by-products — meal and cake — remain, which serve as a source of protein and energy for animals, although cake requires cautious use due to the content of toxic substances.
The S 02 XB 016 DV hybrid is characterized by high resistance to shattering and lodging, ensuring crop stability even with overcrowding and high nitrogen fertilizer application. Genetic resistance to common rapeseed diseases further enhances cultivation reliability. The recommended sowing rate is 450–600 thousand seeds per hectare, which is optimal for achieving maximum productivity. Thanks to its characteristics and adaptability, this hybrid is suitable for cultivation in all regions, ensuring high profitability and product quality.
