Variety description

10 August 2026

The "Викинг-ВНИИМК" variety is an early-maturing spring rapeseed of the "00" type, characterized by a low content of erucic acid and glucosinolates. Its potential yield reaches 3 tonnes per hectare, the oil has an improved fatty acid composition, and the plant itself is noted for its hardiness.

The European variety "Viking" is a winter type of rapeseed. It belongs to the category of obsolete varieties that were present in European lists at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, and in modern agronomic research, it is used primarily as a reference sample.
