CMS 502 A 11

CMS 502 A 11 is a winter rapeseed variety that boasts high yield and outperforms in productivity many hybrids from renowned European breeding brands. The average yield of this variety reaches 5.5 tons per hectare, while its productivity potential can go up to 60 centners per hectare. This rapeseed variety is characterized by a late maturity period and excellent shattering resistance, ensuring crop safety. The recommended sowing rate is 650-700 thousand viable seeds per hectare, with plant heights reaching 138 cm and a 1000-seed mass ranging from 4.9 to 5.2 grams. Oil content in the seeds is high at 46.7%, while erucic acid content is minimal at 0.09%, making the oil high-quality and safe for use.

This rapeseed variety exhibits high disease resistance, particularly to various types of rots, significantly reducing loss risks and decreasing the need for chemical protective measures. CMS 502 A 11 is adapted for cultivation in various agro-climatic zones, including the Polesie, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe, expanding its agricultural application possibilities. To achieve maximum productivity, it is crucial to observe early sowing dates, which promotes good plant development and high yield formation.

Rapeseed is a versatile crop used not only for oil production but also as a cover crop, animal feed, and biofuel. Winter varieties like CMS 502 A 11 are widely used in agrotechnology due to their ability to improve soil structure and fertility, prevent nutrient leaching, and protect the soil from freezing. Rapid growth of green mass and its subsequent decomposition enrich the soil with organic matter, macro- and microelements, contributing to increased yields of subsequent crops.
