Rapeseed Jeremy

Working with Jeremy winter rapeseed

Austrian breeding from Probstdorfer Saatzucht Ges.m.b.H & KG is traditionally associated with reliability, and Jeremy is no exception. In agronomic practice, this winter rapeseed variety proves to be a predictable crop that requires no excessive attention, provided basic management technology is followed.

Field characteristics and development

The plants are uniform, reaching a height of 120-130 cm. This is an optimal range: the stem is strong enough to withstand wind loads but does not cause issues during harvesting. The medium branching pattern allows for efficient use of available nutrients at a recommended seeding rate of 600,000 viable seeds per hectare. Fields managed with this density form a thick, well-lit canopy.

Crop economics

For a farmer, the oil yield and yield potential are the key metrics. Jeremy consistently delivers 40-50 centners per hectare. It is important to note the quality of the seeds: the oil content remains in a comfortable range of 40-45%, and the erucic acid level is low, making the final product highly sought after for high-quality oil production. This is a reliable "workhorse" that performs consistently when provided with proper mineral nutrition.

Operational features

Care for the crops is standard for winter rapeseed. Due to its Austrian genetic background, the variety exhibits excellent winter hardiness. When planning your sowing campaign, keep in mind that 600,000 seeds/ha is a base rate to adjust according to your specific planting dates. Jeremy is easy to harvest, with minimal losses due to pod shatter resistance. In typical farming conditions, this rapeseed minimizes risks, allowing for predictable profitability even before machinery enters the field.
