SY Polana

Technological edge in winter oilseed rape

In the segment of winter oilseed rape focused on stability and productivity, the SI Polana hybrid from the Swiss agricultural giant Syngenta occupies a position as a reliable tool for farmers utilizing Clearfield technology. This simple linear hybrid was developed to meet the demand for weed-free fields and robust resistance to major pathogens.

Biological potential and field characteristics

SI Polana plants feature an optimal height ranging from 170 to 180 cm. This morphology ensures convenience during mechanized harvesting and efficient distribution of plant resources. A moderate branching type contributes to the formation of a uniform crop stand, which is critical for consistent pod filling.

Protection and agronomy

A key strength of this hybrid is its genetically inherent resistance to diseases that typically affect oilseed rape crops:

• Phoma stem canker (Phoma) — the hybrid demonstrates high tolerance, reducing the need for intensive fungicide applications.
• Sclerotinia stem rot — resistance to this pathogen helps maintain a healthy crop stand until the harvest window.

Syngenta's reputation in oilseed rape breeding, supported by the origination of MRI Seed Zambia Limited, ensures high seed quality and adaptability to environmental stress. The integration of Clearfield technology provides versatile options for weed control, making SI Polana an ideal choice for farms facing significant weed pressure.
