RUSCHEN

Stable yields with minimal risk

When selecting a mustard variety for intensive farming, consistency is the key operational factor. Developed by the VNIIMK research center, "Rushena" is a dependable "workhorse" variety that handles various field conditions with ease, allowing for predictable planning and reliable performance.

Field performance and harvesting

The variety has a growth cycle of 75–90 days, which makes harvest logistics straightforward. Standing at a height of 80–150 cm, the plants are perfectly suited for direct harvesting. The crop structure is optimized to prevent lodging while avoiding excessive biomass, ensuring that combine headers run smoothly without clogging or significant harvest loss.

Resilience and cost optimization

One of the strongest operational advantages of "Rushena" is its robust natural immunity. It shows high resistance to major threats like alternaria, white rot, downy mildew (peronosporosis), and fusarium. Furthermore, it exhibits lower susceptibility to the cruciferous flea beetle, which directly impacts your bottom line by reducing the need for expensive additional insecticide treatments.

Key production metrics

• Oil content: Consistently high at 40–48%, ensuring a premium product for processors.
• Grain yield: A stable range of 15–25 dt/ha.
• Green mass: 20–30 tons/ha, providing excellent flexibility for green manure or forage use.

"Rushena" is the ideal choice for growers who value operational efficiency. By combining excellent resistance to diseases with high oil yields, this variety minimizes downtime and maximizes profit margins in the field.
