The new variety of highly oil spring rapeseed Yubileyny 23

In 2023, to the State commission of the Russian Federation on testing and protection of breeding achievements, approved for cultivation, the new variety of spring rapeseed Yubileyny 23 was submitted. It was developed in the Siberian Experimental Station - a branch of V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops by a method of individual selection from the variety Yubileyny, which has been included into the State register of breeding achievements since 1998. The breeding work was aimed on improvement of main economically valuable traits: very early maturation, yield, oil content, resistance to lodging, shattering, and main pathogens. In 2016, an elite plant No. 34863 was selected. The main feature of this variety is high fat content in seeds (up to 53.0%) that allows increasing oil yield per unit area. Due to competitive trial results (2021-2023), the variety if spring rapeseed Yubileyny 23 exceeded the standard variety Granit by seed yield by 0.25 t/ha and by oil yield by 168 kg/ha, and the variety Yubileyny - by 0.46 t/ha and 298 kg/ha, respectively. The new variety is supposed to be produced in Volga-Vyatka (4), Middle Volga (7), Urals (9), Western Siberian (10), and Eastern Siberian (11) regions of cultivation. An originator of the variety Yubileyny 23 is V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops.
