Miraculix CL

German breeding for clean fields

The «Mirakulix CL» spring rapeseed, developed by the German company Deutsche Saatveredelung, represents a highly specialized solution for farmers committed to the Clearfield production system. The introduction of this variety to the market addressed a clear demand from growers for a crop with high oil content that can withstand heavy weed pressure without sacrificing final productivity.

Unlike intensive hybrid types, «Mirakulix CL» is a population variety. This provides the grower with a crucial advantage: stability of development across various soil and climatic conditions and the ability to mitigate risks during stressful spring weather scenarios. The genetic foundation of this variety allows it to effectively reach its potential even in regions with moderate moisture levels.

Key performance metrics

• Yield potential: 40–50 c/ha, representing a robust result for the spring rapeseed segment.
• Oil content: 45–50%, making the raw material highly attractive for crushers.
• Quality: Low erucic acid content, meeting strict European food industry standards.

The phytosanitary profile of this model deserves special attention. Rapeseed is traditionally vulnerable to fungal and viral attacks, but the breeders at DSV have placed significant focus on resilience. The variety exhibits strong resistance to Phoma, as well as the ability to suppress symptoms of beet yellows virus, leaf roll virus, and potato cancer. The integrated Clearfield technology allows for the use of imidazolinone-based herbicides, providing control over stubborn weeds that often outcompete young rapeseed crops during the early stages of growth.

Utilizing «Mirakulix CL» is particularly effective for farms struggling with cereal volunteers and a wide spectrum of broad-leaved weeds. It is more than just seed; it is a comprehensive yield management tool that reduces the need for multiple mechanical interventions and complex herbicide tank mixes.
