Ceos Winter Rapeseed: Field Performance

When selecting seeds, reliability is our top priority. The 'Ceos' hybrid from RAGT has proven to be a workhorse in our fields. Coming from French selection, this hybrid is designed for farmers who need predictable results without having to micromanage every stage of the growing season.

Resilience and Disease Resistance

The standout feature for us is its natural resistance to Phoma and Cylindrosporium. In practical terms, this reduces our reliance on frequent fungicide sprays. When you can skip an unnecessary sprayer pass, you save significantly on fuel, labor, and chemical costs. It’s a robust plant that maintains its health even when weather conditions become challenging.

• Oil content consistently ranges between 47–49 %, ensuring we meet industry quality standards and get the best prices at the elevator.
• Low erucic acid levels, making the crop highly marketable for both food and industrial processing.
• Excellent adaptability to autumn temperature fluctuations, which is key for safe overwintering.

Agronomic Handling

From an operator's perspective, Ceos is a very convenient crop to manage. It doesn't rush into stem elongation during the autumn, which is crucial for building a strong root system and rosette before the winter sets in. At harvest time, the pods show good resistance to shattering, giving us a comfortable window to bring in the combines without worrying about yield loss in the field. This flexibility is a game-changer when weather forecasts are unpredictable during the harvest season. For anyone looking for a dependable, high-yielding winter rapeseed, Ceos is a solid, no-nonsense choice.
