A reliable German hybrid with predictable yields and excellent oil content quality.
Description
German breeding for reliable yields
The «P 508 S 21» spring rapeseed from the German seed house NPZ Lembke is an example of a classic linear hybrid, where the focus is on predictability and raw material quality. In the face of unstable climatic conditions, this crop material demonstrates a balanced approach between technological requirements and biological potential.
Agronomic features and grain quality
This variety stands out among its class for its purity of characteristics. With an oil content of 40-45%, it confidently competes with more intensive hybrids. Low erucic acid levels and a strictly controlled glucosinolate index (9-10 µmol) make its output highly liquid for both food and feed industries.
- Type: simple linear spring rapeseed hybrid.
- Branching: medium, which ensures uniform ripening and simplifies the harvesting process.
- Flowering: an extended period of 20-30 days allows the plant to adapt to short-term stressors during the active growth phase.
Who is this choice for?
«P 508 S 21» is optimal for farmers who prefer a «low risk» strategy. It does not require extremely intensive protection schemes but is highly responsive to quality fertilization. Medium branching prevents excessive crop density, reducing the risk of fungal diseases in the lower stem area. This is the ideal choice for those seeking German quality with a straightforward cultivation technology.

Type of Rape
Type of Rape
Winter rape is a long-day plant, characterized by weak winter hardiness. It may be damaged at temperatures of -8 to -10°C, so it is most commonly grown in regions with mild winters. The most favorable temperature for growth and development of rape is 18-24°C. It requires moisture... |

Flowering Duration
Flowering Duration
Flowering begins on the 37-48th day after emergence and lasts 20-40 days. As for pollination, rapeseed is facultative self-pollinating (up to 20% of plants can self-pollinate cross-pollinated), the spatial isolation norm on seed plots is not less than 500m. |

Glucosinolate Content, mmol
Glucosinolate Content, mmol
The second criterion for evaluating modern rapeseed varieties is the content of glucosinolates in dry fat-free matter, expressed in various units, for example, %, mg/g, μmol/g. Different countries have different standards for glucosinolate content, as it has been established that... |

Erucic Acid Content
Erucic Acid Content
The amount of erucic acid is assessed as a percentage of the total fatty acid content in seed oil. Initially, rapeseed varieties containing less than 5% erucic acid in their seeds were named low-erucic or "0" varieties. Later, this threshold was changed, and "0" varieties now ref... |
