-
Over the past five years, oilseed rape has been among the most profitable crops grown in Bulgaria.
-
It is the first to generate income for the farm and provides an opportunity to cover urgent expenses related to the upcoming season.
-
High and stable purchase prices without major fluctuations over the years.
-
It frees the field early and allows for perfect preparation for the next crop. This is a major advantage, especially when the next crop is wheat or barley.
-
Oilseed rape is one of the best preceding crops for wheat or barley.
-
Even under critical conditions (drought), the highest and most stable yield of wheat or barley is obtained after oilseed rape as a preceding crop.
-
Difficulties in pre-sowing soil preparation
-
Uniform emergence and development in autumn
-
Achieving optimal plant density
-
Successful overwintering
-
Implementing proper crop protection and nutrition in spring
-
Pod shattering and yield loss in the final stages of development
To limit risks and optimize your costs, rely on DEKALB® genetics and the expertise of Bayer representatives for the complete technology and successful cultivation of oilseed rape.
Why DEKALB oilseed rape® from Bayer?
High and stable performance, even under adverse conditions!
-
With DEKALB® genetics you are able to harvest oilseed rape at a profit, even in cases of late autumn emergence, due to the very rapid development of the root system and above-ground biomass of the hybrids.
-
It provides optimal yield even at low plant density (15-20 plants per sq.m) due to its high compensatory capacity.
-
Seeds treated with insecticide make it possible to reduce the seeding rate, thereby optimizing seed costs per decare. Insecticide treatment ensures seed emergence even after a long stay in the soil, protecting them from soil pests.
-
Modern DEKALB® genetics consists of medium-height hybrids with excellent branching ability, which helps achieve good ground coverage even at low seeding rates, reducing the risk of lodging.
-
DEKALB® hybrids are tolerant to the autumn form of Phoma, which is the most harmful.
-
Security in the final stages of oilseed rape development due to resistance to pod shattering.
-
Dual resistance to the parasite broomrape*.
