Rapeseed CRISTAL — this is a medium-early, tall winter rapeseed hybrid selected by the company Lembke (Germany), with a high yield potential up to 65 centners per hectare. It is characterized by rapid and vigorous development of young plants in autumn, ensuring good winter preparation. The hybrid exhibits high winter hardiness and the ability to quickly recover after spring frosts, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions in Ukraine, including the Steppe, Forest-Steppe, and Polissia.
CRISTAL has high drought resistance, lodging resistance, and resistance to pod cracking, as well as good disease resistance, particularly to root neck fusarium. The hybrid is suitable for both intensive and extensive cultivation technologies, including conventional methods with plowing, deep tillage, or minimal soil preparation. Recommended sowing dates vary from optimal to late, with seeding rates ranging from 400,000 to 550,000 seeds per hectare depending on the sowing time.
The hybrid’s yield and stability are ensured by its medium-late flowering and maturation, as well as good response to growth regulation before row closure. Seed packaging is 1.5 million seeds, which is convenient for planning sowing operations. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and adaptability, rapeseed CRISTAL is an effective solution for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable yields under various soil-climatic conditions.
