INV1199

Stable yields for intensive farming

Winter rapeseed INV1199 from Basf S.A. is a choice for agronomists focused on maximizing profitability per hectare. As a population variety, this hybrid demonstrates high adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions, which is crucial for farms with diverse crop rotations.

Agronomy and seeding density

The main focus when working with INV1199 should be on the seeding rate. The recommended density is 400,000 to 500,000 germinating seeds per hectare. This density allows for optimal space utilization, ensuring uniform growth of plants reaching 120–130 cm in height. It is important to note that with such growth parameters, the crop requires precise management with plant growth regulators in autumn to prevent overgrowth of the growing point.

Protection and performance

Basf S.A. breeding traditionally emphasizes phytosanitary resistance. INV1199 shows excellent performance in field conditions against Verticillium and Phoma — diseases that significantly reduce rapeseed profitability annually. Thanks to its genetic protection, the need for additional fungicide applications during critical growth stages is reduced.

• Oil content: a level of 45–50% makes the grain attractive to processors.
• Yield potential: with proper technology, one can expect 50–60 dt/ha.
• Usage scenario: the hybrid is ideal for farms seeking a balance between high yield and resistance to key pathogens under standard agronomic practices.

INV1199 requires balanced nutrition, especially regarding microelements (boron, sulfur), as high yield potential assumes intensive nutrient uptake from the soil.
