A high-tech winter oilseed rape variety designed for effective weed control using the Clearfield system.
Description
Stable Yields within the Clearfield System
Winter oilseed rape KWS Vamos from the German breeding giant KWS is the choice for farmers who prioritize predictability and field hygiene. As a population variety, this hybrid demonstrates excellent plasticity to varying soil and climatic conditions, delivering stable results where more demanding hybrids might falter.
Technological Advantages and Protection
A key feature of KWS Vamos is its adaptation to the Clearfield technology. This enables the effective control of a wide spectrum of weeds, including problematic cruciferous species, without the risk of phytotoxicity to the crop itself. In intensive farming, this eliminates concerns regarding weed pressure during early growth stages.
- Phytosanitary Control: Genetic resistance to major pathogens (phoma, alternaria, and sclerotinia) allows for reduced expenditure on fungicide treatments, ensuring a healthy stem stand right up to harvest.
- Morphology and Harvest: With a plant height of 150-160 cm and medium branching, the crop creates an optimal architecture for mechanical harvesting. A yield potential of 40-50 c/ha, combined with high quality parameters (oil content of 40-45% and low erucic acid), makes this variety a sought-after raw material for processing plants.
Sowing Recommendations
To achieve target yields, it is recommended to maintain a sowing density of 400,000 to 500,000 plants per hectare. A 30-40 day flowering period provides an extended "window" for yield formation, which is critical under conditions of unstable spring-summer moisture. KWS Vamos is a practical tool for those seeking the right balance between technology costs and end-product quality.

Type of Rape
Type of Rape
Winter rape is a long-day plant, characterized by weak winter hardiness. It may be damaged at temperatures of -8 to -10°C, so it is most commonly grown in regions with mild winters. The most favorable temperature for growth and development of rape is 18-24°C. It requires moisture... |

Flowering Duration
Flowering Duration
Flowering begins on the 37-48th day after emergence and lasts 20-40 days. As for pollination, rapeseed is facultative self-pollinating (up to 20% of plants can self-pollinate cross-pollinated), the spatial isolation norm on seed plots is not less than 500m. |

Glucosinolate Content, mmol
Glucosinolate Content, mmol
The second criterion for evaluating modern rapeseed varieties is the content of glucosinolates in dry fat-free matter, expressed in various units, for example, %, mg/g, μmol/g. Different countries have different standards for glucosinolate content, as it has been established that... |

Erucic Acid Content
Erucic Acid Content
The amount of erucic acid is assessed as a percentage of the total fatty acid content in seed oil. Initially, rapeseed varieties containing less than 5% erucic acid in their seeds were named low-erucic or "0" varieties. Later, this threshold was changed, and "0" varieties now ref... |
