R 502 C 21

R 502 C 21 is a high-yielding winter rapeseed hybrid distinguished by its plasticity and adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions. It features early recovery of vegetation and flowering, average plant height, and intensive branching. The hybrid possesses high compensatory ability of density after winter and resistance to diseases such as phoma, cylindrosporiasis, and sclerotinia, as well as lodging, wilting, and cracking. The recommended sowing rate is 400-500 thousand seeds per hectare, with an optimal density of 35-45 plants per square meter after wintering. Sowing depth is 2-4 cm, and row spacing is 10-25 cm. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation in steppe, forest-steppe, and forest zones.

Rapeseed seeds R 502 C 21 belong to type 00, indicating the absence of erucic acid and low glucosinolate content, making them safe and high-quality for oil and feed production. The mass of 1000 seeds ranges from 2.5 to 3.9 grams, with oil content reaching 39.9-46%. Bran contains about 26.6% protein, making it a valuable feed component. The hybrid is resistant to lodging and demonstrates medium maturity with a vegetative period of about 90-103 days.

Rapeseed R 502 C 21 is widely used in technical, food, and feed industries. Seeds produce high-quality oil that matches olive oil in properties, as well as raw materials for biofuels, contributing to reduced environmental impact. Green mass and by-products of processing, such as meal and cake, are used in animal husbandry due to high protein and nutrient content. When selecting this hybrid, it is important to consider its winter hardiness, disease resistance, and ability to adapt to intensive growing conditions.
