Mazari CS

French breeding for high oil content

The winter oilseed rape "Mazari CS" from Caussade Semences is a strategic choice for farms focused on stable yield and intensive cultivation practices. As a simple linear hybrid, it displays excellent plasticity across various soil types, making it a reliable asset for agronomists seeking consistent performance throughout the growing season.

Field Performance

With a plant height of 160-170 cm combined with high branching capacity, this hybrid develops a robust structural framework. This is critical for optimal photosynthetic distribution and uniform pod maturation. Boasting a yield potential of 60-70 dt/ha, this hybrid is well-suited to form the backbone of your crop rotation.

Protection and Quality

Managing disease pressure is essential in winter rape production. "Mazari CS" offers genetic resistance to a key spectrum of pathogens:

• Sclerotinia: Prevents yield loss in high-humidity conditions.
• Phoma: Reduces the risk of lodging and nutrient uptake issues.
• Cylindrosporiosis: Minimizes the need for heavy fungicide applications.

The oil content of 45-50% and low glucosinolate levels (15-16 mmol) ensure strong market demand and meet the stringent quality standards of modern processing facilities.

Sowing Recommendations

To unlock the full potential of the hybrid, the breeder recommends a seeding rate of 500,000 viable seeds per hectare. Maintaining this density allows the plant to maximize its branching potential, ensuring an optimal number of pods while managing crop competition effectively.
