DK Selena

Stable yields with minimized risk

The winter oilseed rape hybrid «DK Selena» by Monsanto is a go-to choice for farmers prioritizing predictable results in challenging climatic conditions. Unlike many modern hybrids that demand an ideal agricultural background, «DK Selena» demonstrates outstanding plasticity, maintaining a yield potential of 40–50 dt/ha even under variable weather conditions.

Key Advantages of the Hybrid

The core strength of this selection lies in its robust genetic resistance to a complex of fungal diseases. The plant effectively combats pathogens that typically consume a significant portion of potential profits:

• Phoma and Alternaria;
• Sclerotinia;
• Cylindrosporium.

High stem branching allows the plant to form a higher number of pods and seeds, ensuring a dense crop canopy. The simple linear genetics of the hybrid ensure uniformity in the field, which is critical during harvest time — resulting in fewer header losses and higher seed purity.

Who is this solution for?

This hybrid is optimal for farms that employ intensive technologies but want to insure themselves against sudden disease outbreaks. Thanks to its high resistance to pathogens, «DK Selena» allows for the optimization of fungicide application costs without compromising crop health. It is a reliable «workhorse» that forgives minor agronomic errors in sowing dates and maintenance, consistently delivering expected tonnage.
