COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF WINTER RAPE HYBRIDS
Zabarnyi Oleksii Serhiyovych – Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, Seeds marketing manager BASF (21007, Vinnytsia, Soniacna St. 2, e-mail: zabarnyy@ukr.net).
The publication analyzes the portfolio of winter rape hybrids from BASF and conducts a comparative evaluation of them. It was found that these hybrids differed in phenological characteristics and resistance to diseases and unfavorable conditions. The main aspects of each hybrid that accompany it during the growing season are described in detail. Recommendations on the use of hybrids for different sowing dates are also given, which will ensure optimal wintering of winter rape. The hybrids were also evaluated in terms of moisture and its use during the growing season. Information on the timing of harvesting hybrids is important for farmers, as knowing this information allows them to plan harvesting dates, as overripening of winter rapeseed pods often leads to their cracking. That is why our portfolio of winter rapeseed hybrids can be divided into 3 maturity groups: medium early, medium ripe and medium late. An important quality indicator in winter rapeseed is the oil content in the seeds. It depends on the soil and climatic conditions of cultivation, fertilization, moisture supply and the degree of protection against diseases and pests. We analyzed the oil content in seeds for these hybrids. The analysis of BASF's winter rapeseed portfolio shows that the seeds of all the presented hybrids can be used for food purposes under proper growing conditions. Another characteristic of any winter rapeseed hybrid is its resistance to adverse environmental conditions and disease resistance. After analyzing the portfolio of winter rapeseed hybrids, it was found that all hybrids had high winter hardiness and drought resistance (7-8 points out of 9), which generally contributes to the formation of high seed yields with appropriate provision of mineral nutrients and timely chemical treatments against diseases and pests. Thus, from all of the above, it should be noted that it is important to select a winter rape hybrid with high sowing qualities and certain parameters specific to individual soil and climatic zones.
