Rapeseed Torres — this is a mid-late maturing winter rapeseed hybrid selected by Syngenta, specifically developed for cultivation under dry climate and unstable moisture conditions. It has a high genetic yield potential, which is consistently realized in the field, reaching yields of 34 to 50 centners per hectare. The hybrid is characterized by high oil content, reaching 45%, making it attractive for the oil industry. Rapeseed Torres exhibits resistance to drought, frost, lodging, and shattering, ensuring stable growth and yield retention even under challenging climatic conditions.
Rapeseed Torres plants reach a height of 160–170 cm depending on moisture availability and belong to an intensive type, responding well to soil fertility and improved agronomic practices. The hybrid has a high level of disease tolerance, particularly to phoma, reducing the risk of yield loss and minimizing the need for frequent fungicide applications. The winter hardiness of rapeseed Torres is also high, enabling successful cultivation in regions with cold winters.
To achieve maximum productivity, it is recommended to follow optimal sowing dates, avoid early sowing, and avoid overcrowding plantings. Effective weed and pest control, along with intensive cultivation technologies, are key agronomic components. Due to intensive early growth, it is recommended to use plant growth regulators, which help form strong and healthy plants. The recommended seeding rate is 450–600 thousand seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal plant density and contributing to high and stable yields.
