CADRAN

Resilient Winter Rapeseed for Challenging Field Conditions

The «Kadran» hybrid from the French breeder RAGT is designed for growers who prioritize crop health and consistency. In regions with intensive crop rotations, where pathogen pressure is high, choosing a hybrid with natural defenses against soil-borne and foliar diseases is the most effective management strategy.

Combating Fungal Pathogens

The standout feature of the «Kadran» hybrid is its robust genetic resistance to Verticillium wilt. This disease often goes unnoticed until the grain-filling stage, causing significant yield drops. By planting «Kadran», farmers secure their harvest against this threat, while also leveraging the hybrid's strong resistance to Phoma, which helps reduce the need for multiple mid-season fungicide applications.

Operational Benefits and Management

• Robust Establishment: «Kadran» shows strong early-season vigor, allowing for flexible planting dates and successful overwintering even in less-than-ideal autumn conditions.
• High-Yield Potential: The hybrid responds exceptionally well to intensive nutrient programs, efficiently converting soil and fertilizer inputs into harvestable yield.
• Harvest Efficiency: Excellent pod shatter resistance is a hallmark of this hybrid, providing a wider window for harvest operations and reducing losses during mechanical operations.

For those managing large-scale operations, «Kadran» offers a predictable development cycle and a high degree of adaptability. It is a reliable choice for farmers looking to simplify their fungicide schedule without sacrificing yield potential. Whether on high-fertility sites or fields with history of fungal issues, «Kadran» maintains a steady performance year after year.
