Ultimax CL

Ultimax CL is a mid-season hybrid of spring rapeseed (Brassica napus var. napus) type 00, characterized by high quality and resistance to adverse conditions. It has low glucosinolate content and non-erucic acid composition, making it valuable for oil and feed production. The plant has medium height, green leaves with medium serrated edges, and short pods without a beak, which promotes even maturation and facilitates harvest, minimizing losses. Its deep root system ensures resistance to environmental stresses, including drought and lodging, confirmed by lodging resistance ratings of 4 out of 5 and pod cracking resistance of 5 out of 5.

Ultimax CL features high yield, reaching up to 21.3 c/ha under favorable conditions, and an average yield of about 16.7 c/ha in moderate climate regions. Seeds contain 46.7% to 49.0% oil with low glucosinolate levels, making them attractive for food oil and biodiesel production. The rapeseed is resistant to major diseases, receiving maximum ratings for this trait, and also tolerates herbicide treatments, facilitating crop protection.

This hybrid is suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions, enduring temperatures down to -20 degrees, which is especially important for regions with cold winters. Due to its high oil content and resistance to pests and stresses, Ultimax CL is an effective choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality rapeseed harvest for use in the food industry, feed production, and biofuel.
