Variety description

10 August 2026

The Metharoc hybrid is a specialized energy crop. In trials, it demonstrated high dry matter yield potential, exceeding that of traditional oilseed varieties, with results in the range of 10.3 to 14.8 tonnes per hectare.

The plant possesses increased resistance to white rot compared to oilseed-type varieties. In comparative studies, the hybrid served as a benchmark, demonstrating lodging resistance indicators exceeding many other experimental samples.
