Winter rapeseed TASSILO F1

TASSILO F1: Precision German Breeding for Reliable Rapeseed Yields

When it comes to winter rapeseed, KWS's TASSILO F1 represents a focus on agricultural consistency. Developed in Germany, this hybrid is designed for farmers who prioritize yield stability alongside high-quality oil output, effectively balancing agronomic performance with robust plant health.

Agronomic Profile

Standing at 120–130 cm, TASSILO F1 boasts high branching capacity. This structural efficiency allows the plant to maximize nutrient utilization across a stand density of 500,000 plants per hectare. The result is a consistent crop architecture that promotes uniform ripening, facilitating a more efficient harvest process.

Disease Resistance and ROI

A major bottleneck in rapeseed production is fungal pressure. TASSILO F1 stands out due to its inherent resilience against Phoma and Sclerotinia. By lowering the disease risk, this hybrid minimizes the necessity for aggressive, late-season fungicide applications, helping to protect both the margins and the environment. This "stay-green" effect helps maintain canopy integrity until the seed filling stage, preventing premature pod shattering.

Oil Quality Standards

• Oil Content: Consistently between 40–45%.
• Grain Quality: With low erucic acid levels and minimal glucosinolate content (9–10 mmol), the harvested product meets demanding international standards for top-tier quality.

Target Audience: TASSILO F1 is ideally suited for producers employing intensive cultivation management. It is the perfect choice for those who need a reliable, high-performing asset that mitigates the risks of common field diseases without requiring overly complex management protocols.
