Description
Field Efficiency and Operational Stability
The winter rapeseed variety "Solo," developed by the Institute of Oilseed Crops of NAAS, is known for its predictable performance across Ukrainian soils. Agronomists favor this variety for its consistent plant height of 170–180 cm. Such plant morphology simplifies desiccation and direct harvesting, significantly reducing grain loss during combine header passes.
Crop Quality and Market Value
For farm owners, "Solo" translates into margins supported by laboratory analysis. The variety maintains high oil content (45–50%) and low erucic acid levels, making it highly competitive in international oil export markets. A glucosinolate content of 16–17 mmol ensures that the resulting meal is suitable for high-protein livestock feed without toxicological concerns.
Economic Performance
Reaching the yield potential of 50–60 c/ha requires the operator to follow an intensive cultivation protocol. The variety is highly responsive to micronutrient applications and precise seeding rates. Its natural resistance to lodging eases the workload for the combine operator, requiring fewer adjustments to the reel and ensuring efficient collection of low-hanging pods.
- Plant height: 170–180 cm — optimized for mechanical harvesting.
- Oil content: up to 50% — excellent profitability for extraction plants.
- Quality: low erucic acid meets strict modern standards.
- Yield potential: up to 6 tons per hectare under ideal agronomic conditions.

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... |

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... |
