SMILLA is a spring rape hybrid (Brassica napus var. napus) with an ultra-early maturity period, characterized by high plasticity and rapid growth. This variety is ideal for cultivation in arid regions with a short growing season, effectively utilizing autumn-winter moisture. SMILLA demonstrates high seed yield, reaching an average of 14.6 c/ha, while the oil content in seeds varies from 42.6% to 44.8%, making it attractive for oilseed production.
The hybrid is characterized by its dwarf stature and resistance to various adverse factors, including drought, diseases, and pod shattering. These qualities ensure yield stability and optimize harvesting conditions, even with late sowing. SMILLA responds well to the application of organic and mineral fertilizers, allowing it to fully realize its potential under various agro-climatic conditions.
This variety is of particular significance for northern regions with a limited growing season, where spring rape is becoming increasingly in demand. SMILLA competes successfully with other early-maturing hybrids, occupying a worthy place in crop rotations across various climatic zones. Regions permitted for cultivation include the North-Western, Western Siberian, and Eastern Siberian regions, confirming its adaptability and versatility.
