Description
This variety is characterized by high winter hardiness and is suitable for cultivation on light soils, broadening its application potential across various regions, including Steppe, Forest-Steppe, and Polесье. Alabama features rapid spring vegetation recovery and intensive branching, contributing to its high yield potential. The vegetative period falls within the mid-early maturity group, with early first flowering and average autumn development.
Alabama is recommended for mid- to late sowing periods with a seeding rate of 350–550 thousand plants per hectare, ensuring optimal plant density at harvest time. The variety shows high resistance to phomopsis (RLM7), moderate resistance to sclerotinia and alternaria. Its oil content and yield are high, making it an attractive choice for farmers seeking high-quality and stable rapeseed yields.

Glucosinolate Content, mmol
Glucosinolate Content, mmol
The second criterion for evaluating modern rapeseed varieties is the content of glucosinolates in dry fat-free matter, expressed in various units, for example, %, mg/g, μmol/g. Different countries have different standards for glucosinolate content, as it has been established that... |

Erucic Acid Content
Erucic Acid Content
The amount of erucic acid is assessed as a percentage of the total fatty acid content in seed oil. Initially, rapeseed varieties containing less than 5% erucic acid in their seeds were named low-erucic or "0" varieties. Later, this threshold was changed, and "0" varieties now ref... |
