GRANITE is a type of spring rape (Brassica napus var. napus) 00 variety, characterized by the absence of erucic acid and low glucosinolate content. The crop belongs to the mid-maturing group with a vegetative period ranging from 84 to 101 days, depending on growing conditions. The plant is distinguished by a long stem, green leaves with a small leaflet ratio and weak marginal serration. Pods come in both notched and medium-length beakless variants, with long pedicels. The flowering time of the variety is average, contributing to optimal development and crop formation. The GRANITE variety is adapted for cultivation in various regions, including the West Siberian, Volga-Vyatka, Ural, and East Siberian regions. It exhibits good resistance to diseases and pests, as well as to drought, shattering, and lodging, ensuring crop stability. The average yield in the West Siberian region is about 12.6 c/ha, while under favorable conditions, such as in the Tyumen region, yields can reach 31.9 c/ha. The variety responds well to fertilizers and high-quality soil processing, allowing for increased productivity with the correct agronomic approach. GRANITE is distinguished by a high oil content in seeds—about 47.8–51%, ensuring oil collection at a level of 6.1 c/ha and above. High oil content and stable productivity make this variety attractive for industrial cultivation and production of vegetable oils. Additionally, the variety is suitable for mechanized harvesting, which facilitates agronomic operations and reduces harvest collection costs. Thanks to its characteristics, GRANITE is an effective choice for farmers seeking to obtain a high-quality and high-yield spring rape crop.
