R 502 C 21

Stability and Phytosanitary Control

The winter oilseed rape Р 502 С 21 from the German breeding house NPZ Lembke is a reliable choice for farmers who prioritize yield predictability and high oil content. Unlike many modern intensive hybrids that require perfect growing conditions, this variety shows remarkable tolerance to environmental stressors while maintaining high grain quality.

Crop Health as a Foundation for Yield

The main advantage of Р 502 С 21 is its strong immune profile against the most common rape diseases. The hybrid possesses pronounced genetic resistance to phoma, sclerotinia, and cylindrosporium. This is not just a marketing claim but a practical tool to reduce fungicide use. Less chemical intervention directly translates into higher net profitability for the crop.

Raw Material Quality for Processors

For agricultural producers focusing on export or direct supply contracts with crushing plants, Р 502 С 21 offers excellent seed quality parameters:

• Oil content consistently ranges between 40-45%.
• Low erucic acid levels comply with the strictest European safety standards.
• Glucosinolate content (9-10 µmol) ensures that the meal remains a high-quality component for animal feed.

Cultivation Recommendations

The optimal plant density ranges from 400,000 to 500,000 plants per hectare. This density allows the hybrid to form a uniform stand with healthy branching. It is perfectly suited for farms looking for a robust hybrid capable of reaching its full potential even with moderate farming practices, avoiding the risks often associated with highly demanding new breeding releases.
