Klitsynnyy 8

Technological potential of winter rapeseed "Klytynnyi 8"

The breeding program by NULES of Ukraine has focused the "Klytynnyi 8" model on adaptability and the realization of high genetic potential under intensive farming conditions. This simple linear winter rapeseed variety is designed for a stable yield range of 60-70 c/ha, achieved through a sophisticated system of complex phytosanitary resistance.

Biological Protection and Immunity

The key advantage of the variety is its genetic "armor" against pathogens. The breeders' work concentrated on strengthening cellular membranes, providing increased resistance to critical diseases:

• Fungicidal resistance: The variety demonstrates high tolerance to Alternaria, Phoma, and Sclerotinia. This is critical for maintaining leaf surface area during the active pod-filling phase.
• Root system: Enhanced protection against root rots and downy mildew allows the plant to efficiently absorb moisture and nutrients from deep soil layers, even under adverse weather conditions.
• Prophylaxis: Effective resistance to gray mold and powdery mildew reduces the need for additional fungicidal treatments, optimizing costs per hectare.

Integration with the Clearfield System

The technological flexibility of "Klytynnyi 8" is realized through its support of the Clearfield herbicide system. This provides agronomists with a powerful tool for weed control in rapeseed crops, enabling the management of a wide range of broadleaf and grass weeds without phytotoxic suppression of the crop. Combined with high yield potential, the variety is a balanced solution for farms aiming to minimize risks and increase the profitability of commodity grain.
