Winter rapeseed variety Sarmat

A variety Sarmat has been developing in 2004-2014 by a method of multiple individual selection in an intraspecific hybrid from a combination “variety Silvia x No 23627". A new variety is characterized by winter resistance, a low plant height, uniformity on flowering and maturity, a very early beginning of flowering, but middle maturity, and a high resistance to lodging. The winter rapeseed variety Sarmat showed a high productivity of seeds in environments of Krasnodar, exceeding a standard-variety Loris on productivity on 1.1 t/ha (+28%), on oil yield - on 0.55 t/ha (+34%). In addition, this new variety is characterized by a high resistance to one of the most dangerous disease caused by the Phoma pathogen. The new variety Sarmat was passed into the State variety trial from 2015.
