Legin

Winter oilseed rape 'Lehin', bred by the National Scientific Center 'Institute of Agriculture of NAAS', is a top-tier choice for farmers prioritizing stability and high oil content in varying climatic conditions. This simple linear variety is favored for its predictable growth pattern and efficient biomass development, making it an excellent candidate for intensive farming systems.

Field Performance and Agrotechnology

With a height of 160–170 cm and high branching capacity, 'Lehin' optimizes the use of soil nutrients. A planting density of 400,000 to 500,000 seeds per hectare ensures a vigorous stand, which is manageable and resilient. This variety is designed for farmers who require reliable crop development and a stress-free harvesting period.

Disease Resistance and Health

The variety is engineered with robust natural resistance, significantly reducing the pressure from common field pathogens:

• Inherited immunity against bacteriosis and downy mildew (peronosporosis).
• Proven tolerance to phoma, alternaria, and sclerotinia.
• Effective protection against root rots and black leg.

By integrating 'Lehin' into their crop rotation, producers can often scale back on fungicide applications, optimizing their production costs without compromising yield potential.

Yield and Economic Value

Boasting a yield potential of 60–70 dt/ha and an oil content of 45–50%, 'Lehin' meets the stringent requirements of modern processing plants. Its low erucic acid content adds value to the harvested grain, positioning it as a high-quality product. The variety responds excellently to well-managed fertility programs, rewarding producers with high returns on investment.
