ANTARES is a variety of spring rape (Brassica napus var. napus) type 00, characterized by the absence of erucic acid and low glucosinolate content, making it particularly valuable for the production of high-quality oil. The variety is mid-season with a vegetative period of 95-105 days and early flowering time. Plants reach a height of 90-105 cm, with lower branches attached at a height of 28-45 cm, which ensures good stability and optimal crop formation. The mass of 1000 seeds is 3.4-4.3 g, indicating high quality of seed material.
ANTARES is distinguished by high yield and oil content. Average yield in various regions, such as Central and Volga-Vyatka, ranges from 11.3 to 13.4 c/ha, exceeding standard indicators by 4-5%. Maximum yields reach 23.8-38.7 c/ha. Seed oil content varies from 38.6 to 47.1%, and protein content reaches 26%, making this variety attractive for oil production and feed purposes. High seed quality ensures the production of oil and meal with excellent characteristics.
The ANTARES variety is recommended for cultivation in a wide range of regions of Russia, including Central, Volga-Vyatka, Central-Black Earth, Middle Volga, Ural, Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia, and Far Eastern regions. It is resistant to diseases and pests, which contributes to stable and high yields. Thanks to its agronomic and technological characteristics, ANTARES is a reliable choice for farmers focused on the production of high-quality rape oil and seeds.
