About this product

LG Astronom Winter Rapeseed

LG Astronom is a medium-early winter rapeseed hybrid of the erucic-acid-free 00 type, grown across Ukrainian winter rapeseed rotations. It carries the RLM7 phoma-resistance gene and rates 8/9 for drought tolerance, which fits it to drier fields and variable overwintering. Strong autumn vigour and early spring regrowth let the stand shade weeds and hold soil moisture. Genetic pod-shatter resistance and 8/9 lodging tolerance support a cleaner harvest at up to 7.1 t/ha oil-yield potential.
