Rigasol OR

Stable yields without surprises

When planning a season, the last thing you want is a lottery with seeds. Rigasol OR from Monsanto is a case where the hybrid performs predictably in any field. Experience shows it is a classic 'workhorse' that meets oil content targets without the need for excessive fertilization gimmicks.

Daily agronomic performance

The main advantage is the 100-110 day vegetation period. This allows you to avoid late summer droughts and schedule the harvest before the autumn rains. The crop is even, and the heads ripen uniformly, so the combine operator doesn't struggle with settings on the go, minimizing header losses.

• Oil content: 45-50%. A solid figure that keeps elevator results consistent.
• Type: Simple hybrid. Straightforward genetics that don't throw unpleasant surprises like uneven plant height or patchy flowering.

From a practical standpoint, the hybrid responds excellently to standard crop protection programs. We haven't noticed excessive stalk brittleness, which is crucial for mechanical harvesting. Monsanto's American breeding shows in its resilience: even under less-than-ideal weather conditions, the plant carries the yield to the end, ensuring the oil output specified in the technical data.

This is a reliable choice for those prioritizing intensive yet predictable technology. There is no magic here, just precise genetic performance that, with proper management, delivers a projected result in tons per hectare.
