PX100CL

Field Experience with PX100SL

When you walk out into the field in the spring, after overwintering, PX100SL from Pioneer s.a. immediately stands out among other hybrids. It is a winter rapeseed variety that behaves predictably and reliably. The main highlight is the Clearfield technology, which for us means peace of mind when it comes to weed control. There is no need to select complex tank mixtures and risk crop injury; we apply the specialized herbicide and resolve weed issues right from the start.

Agronomic Features and Development

The plants grow to 130–150 cm, but despite this height, the field does not lodge even in strong winds. Branching in this hybrid is very intensive, which is quite evident during harvest when the combine moves through a dense mass. Due to abundant lateral branching, the plant forms a massive number of pods, resulting in an oil content of 40–45%.

Crop Health and Protection

What I appreciate the most is not having to constantly scout the fields for fungicide applications. The genetic resistance to Sclerotinia, Phoma, and Cylindrosporium is not just a bullet point in a Pioneer s.a. brochure, but actual savings on chemicals. The hybrid stands its ground even when weather conditions favor the development of fungal diseases.

• Clearfield Technology: An ideal tool for weed control without stressing the rapeseed crop.
• Stability: High resistance to major diseases reduces fungicide application costs.
• Yield: High oil content and excellent plant structure bring consistent results to the grain bin.

Working with this hybrid is straightforward: it is responsive to agronomic practices and delivers predictable results. If you need a winter rapeseed that is forgiving of minor management errors while demonstrating excellent oil content metrics, PX100SL is a choice based on field practice, not just marketing promises.
