EC Domino

High-Performance Winter Oilseed Rape

The Es Domino winter oilseed rape hybrid, developed by Euralis Semences, is a professional-grade choice designed for farmers prioritizing both yield stability and disease management. As a simple linear hybrid, it offers predictable performance across various soil types, backed by strong French genetic research from the Lidea France and Euralis breeding programs.

Resilience Against Pathogens

One of the primary challenges in modern OSR production is the high pressure of fungal and viral diseases. Es Domino is specifically bred to resist Sclerotinia and Phoma, the two primary culprits behind yield loss in mature stands. Moreover, the hybrid features built-in tolerance to Turnip Yellows Virus (TuYV) and leaf curl viruses, which are often transmitted by aphids. This trait is particularly valuable for farms with early-sowing strategies, allowing for healthier crop development during the critical autumn growth window.

Optimizing Field Performance

To achieve the target yield potential, the seeding rate should be adjusted based on field fertility and sowing timing, with a recommended range of 400,000 to 500,000 seeds per hectare:

• 400,000 seeds/ha: Ideal for fertile fields with optimal water retention, allowing individual plants sufficient space for vigorous branching and development.
• 500,000 seeds/ha: Recommended for later sowing dates or fields with more challenging conditions to ensure a uniform and competitive canopy.

The harvested seeds are characterized by a high oil content (45–50%) and low erucic acid levels, meeting the strict quality requirements of both the food processing and biofuel industries. Es Domino combines the precision of modern plant breeding with the practical need for robust, manageable crop growth.
