Ultimax CL

Clearfield Technology in Practice: Ultimax KL Spring Rapeseed

When selecting spring rapeseed for commercial farming, balancing yield potential with crop protection efficiency is critical. Ultimax KL, developed by Deutsche Saatveredelung, provides a robust, linear hybrid solution designed specifically for growers who prioritize effective weed control and consistent results.

Operational Advantages

The core strength of this hybrid is its built-in resistance to the Clearfield herbicide system. This allows for superior management of difficult-to-control weeds, including cruciferous species, without the risk of crop stunting. By implementing Ultimax KL, farmers can streamline their herbicide programs, ensuring a cleaner field and higher harvest efficiency.

Technical Specifications for Successful Farming

• Yield Potential: Targets 20-30 dt/ha, offering a reliable output under various growing conditions.
• Oil Content: High oil content (45-50%) makes this hybrid highly valuable for crushing facilities.
• Plant Architecture: With a height of 130-150 cm and moderate branching, the crop is well-suited for efficient mechanical harvesting.
• Quality Standards: Low erucic acid content and low glucosinolate levels (9-10 μmol) meet strict international processing requirements.

Ultimax KL is an excellent choice for operations seeking predictable performance and the proven reliability of German plant breeding. Its ability to handle complex weed pressures while maintaining high quality makes it a versatile tool for any intensive rotation scheme.
