MSL 315 A

Stability and oil content: field experience with winter oilseed rape MSL 315 A

When it comes to winter rapeseed, the main criteria for an agronomist are winter hardiness and minimal hassle with fungicide treatments. The German breeding house Deutsche Saatveredelung offers exactly this with the MSL 315 A hybrid. This simple linear hybrid performs predictably even under unstable weather conditions.

Agronomic advantages

The key feature of this hybrid is its natural immunity. If your fields often suffer from phoma, alternaria, or cylindrosporium, MSL 315 A covers these risks almost entirely. Throughout the season, you spend significantly less on fungicides, which lowers the cost per ton. The plants are robust and uniform, which makes the harvesting process much smoother.

Oil content and yield

The oil content ranging from 45% to 50% makes this rapeseed highly sought after by processors. The yield potential of 50–60 dt/ha is what we consistently see when standard cultivation technology is followed. The hybrid responds well to fertilization, is not demanding under intensive growing practices, and maintains pod integrity right up until harvest time.

• High tolerance to major fungal diseases.
• Stable oil content, allowing for potential price premiums.
• Simple cultivation technology suitable for most farming operations.

If you are looking for a variety that won't throw any surprises in the spring and will deliver a solid yield at harvest, MSL 315 A is a reliable investment for the upcoming season.
