Rapeseed Snow Queen

Stability and Yield: "Snigova Koroleva" Winter Rapeseed

The "Snigova Koroleva" cultivar, developed by NUBiP of Ukraine, is designed for agricultural enterprises aiming for high profitability and consistent quality. As a simple linear cultivar of winter rapeseed, it demonstrates excellent adaptability to the climatic challenges of various regions, ensuring a reliable crop output.

Agronomic Potential and Productivity

The key asset of this cultivar is its high oil content (45–50%) paired with a low erucic acid level, meeting stringent export quality requirements. With a yield potential of 60–70 c/ha, it requires precise adherence to intensive cultivation technology, specifically a seeding rate of 900,000 plants per hectare. The plants reach a height of 160–170 cm with vigorous branching, promoting uniform pod maturation and facilitating the harvesting process.

Field Resistance and Protection

The practical application of "Snigova Koroleva" allows agronomists to optimize plant protection costs due to the cultivar's inherent resistance to major pathogens:

• Strong defense against Alternaria, Sclerotinia, and Phoma.
• Resistance to root rot and black leg.
• High tolerance to Peronospora (downy mildew) and Bacteriosis.
• Reduced risk of damage from the pollen beetle (rapeseed blossom beetle).

This cultivar is ideal for farms seeking a robust, high-performance crop that combines superior yield potential with reliable phytosanitary defenses throughout the entire growing season.
