ADVANTAGES OF "ATLANT" RAPSE:(//tractor-service.com)

resistance to cold, drought;
possibility of mechanized cultivation;
accelerated set of vegetative mass;
resistance to bacteriosis, other diseases;
resistance to rotting, cracking, crumbling;
can be combined with the "Anna" variety.
Even with a partial frost, "Atlant" gives a good harvest, as the remaining stems quickly branch, occupy the freed space and suppress weeds naturally. For this reason, it is one of the most common varieties of rapeseed. Since there are practically no weeds in the "Atlanta" fields, it is possible to harvest the crop by the direct combine method.

PROCESSING

In order to ensure simultaneous ripening, it is possible to "insure" and make desiccation with the help of raglon. Processing rate - 2-3 liters / ha. It is necessary to process 7-10 days beforeplanned harvesting. "Atlant", as well as other varieties of rapeseed, should be harvested at a maximum seed moisture content of 15 percent. Otherwise, gluing and deterioration of product characteristics are possible.

DEMAND OF RAPSE

The "Atlant" variety is in demand fortechnical purposes and is an excellent raw material for the production of lubricants due to the relatively high content of erucic acid. Possible application in the steel industry and other technical purposes. For example, in recent years, rapeseed is actively considered as a raw material for biofuel, the production of which will cost less than any other.
