HARDIE F1

German precision in your fields: HARDY F1

When working with Dieckmann GmbH&Co.KG genetics, you expect consistency. The HARDY F1 winter oilseed rape hybrid is built for those who prioritize efficiency and yield security. With a yield potential of 50–60 dt/ha, this hybrid is a workhorse that stands up well to the challenges of modern intensive farming.

Agronomic performance and resistance

From an operator's perspective, this hybrid is incredibly user-friendly. Its height (130–160 cm) is perfect for standard harvesting equipment, ensuring minimal losses. What truly sets HARDY F1 apart is its robust disease resistance profile. It shows excellent resistance to phoma, sclerotinia, and alternaria, and its specific resistance to cylindrosporiosis is a major plus that helps keep fungicide costs under control.

Operational tips for success

The seeding rate of 400k to 600k seeds per hectare gives us the flexibility to adapt to local soil conditions. At the recommended 500k seeds/ha, the plants optimize their canopy and side-branch development, which is crucial for hitting that 50+ dt/ha target. The oil content of 40–45% combined with low erucic acid levels makes the final product highly marketable.

• Hybrid Type: Simple linear winter rape.
• Key strengths: High disease resistance (root rot, blackleg, etc.).
• Management: Standard agronomic practices are sufficient for top results.

HARDY F1 offers the kind of reliability that every farm needs. It is a straightforward, high-performing choice that combines German breeding quality with practical field resilience.
