S 3140077 CL

Technological edge of KWS winter oilseed rape

The С 3140077 КЛ hybrid from the German breeding company KWS Saat SE & Co. KGaA is a high-performance solution for farmers focused on intensive cultivation technologies. This hybrid represents a modern generation of winter rapeseed, specifically engineered for efficiency within the Clearfield herbicide system.

Protection and Productivity

The primary advantage of С 3140077 КЛ is its integrated resistance to imidazolinone-based herbicides. This enables agronomists to effectively manage difficult-to-control weeds, such as wild mustard and field pennycress, without risking crop suppression. With an oil content ranging from 45% to 50%, the hybrid is a highly attractive asset for the processing industry, ensuring consistent product yield.

Developed under the guidance of originator Andreas Gertz, the hybrid’s genetic profile is built for superior phytosanitary resilience. The crop demonstrates excellent field tolerance to the most damaging pathogens affecting rapeseed production:

• Sclerotinia stem rot — a fungal infection capable of causing significant crop loss.
• Phoma stem canker — a systemic disease leading to necrosis and lodging.
• Cylindrosporiosis — a disease that limits leaf photosynthetic area.

Utilizing this simple line hybrid minimizes cultivation risks, providing a predictable outcome when KWS agricultural protocols are followed. In this case, German breeding excellence serves as a guarantee of both seed quality and yield stability, even under the stress of challenging climatic conditions.
