Variety description

10 August 2026

The Mercedes F1 hybrid is a mid-season '00' type winter rapeseed characterized by the absence of erucic acid and low glucosinolate content. The plant is of the medium-height type and possesses vigorous autumn development, making it suitable for late sowing dates.

The spring growth of the hybrid is restrained, which reduces the risk of damage from recurrent frosts. The variety demonstrates resistance to lodging and pod shattering. Winter hardiness is rated as high, allowing adaptation to difficult climatic conditions.

Seed quality ensures an oil content from 45%. The productivity potential of the crop, when adhering to cultivation technology, is 50–60 centners per hectare.
