The Brassica napus 'Gordeya' variety belongs to type 00 and is a diploid, non-erucic acid plant with low glucosinolate content (12.8 µmol/g). It is distinguished by its bright yellow seed color and low hulling percentage, which enhances the feed value of the press cake and meal for ruminants and poultry. The high oil content reaches 50–51% (one source indicates 49.3%), while the oleic acid content is approximately 62%. The oil is characterized by a low erucic acid content (<0.03%).
The plant has medium leaf length, which are lobed and green. Plant height reaches approximately 142 cm, and the height of the lower branch attachment is about 35 cm. The vegetative period ranges from 225 to 252 days, with early flowering and a weak tendency to form inflorescences upon spring sowing. Petals are lemon-yellow, pollen is formed, and the pod beak is short.
'Gordeya' is a winter-hardy variety and moderately drought-tolerant, making it suitable for cultivation for grain and as green feed. Seed yield is approximately 28 c/ha, and green mass yield reaches up to 50 t/ha. The variety is recommended for producing edible and technical oil, as well as for feed purposes, due to the high quality of the product and resistance to pests such as powdery mildew and fusarium.
