Toronto

The hybrid winter rape Toronto is a modern oilseed crop with slow development in the autumn, which ensures resistance to lodging and promotes efficient use of water and fertilizers. Early and uniform vegetation recovery in spring allows for rapid plant growth and development, which is particularly important for achieving high yields. Toronto is characterized by very high winter hardiness and high regenerative capacity, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in the Forest-steppe and Steppe zones.

The plants of this hybrid have medium height and compact, low stature, which facilitates harvest and reduces losses. High oil content and low levels of glucosinolates and erucic acid make this rape especially valuable for oil production. The 1000-seed mass is high, indicating good seed material quality. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to lodging and shattering, as well as high drought tolerance, ensuring stable yields even under adverse conditions.

Toronto demonstrates high tolerance to major rape diseases, including phomopsis, black stem, downy mildew, sclerotinia, alternaria, and bacterial blight. Resistance to lodging and pod cracking is also at a high level, further enhancing yield quality and quantity. Recommended sowing dates vary from early (August 10-15) with a seeding rate of 350-450 thousand seeds per hectare to late (September 1-10) with a rate of 550-600 thousand seeds per hectare, allowing adaptation of cultivation technology to specific climatic conditions and timing.
