Grain reach in oil content
Most of the value of sunflower and rapeseed comes from the oil. This is why these species are grown. There are significant differences between varieties, for example between a variety with a low oil content and one with a very high content, 6 points can separate them in rapeseed.
Cultivation methods and stresses can also have a positive or negative impact on oil content, but the ranking of varieties remains the same.
Our solution
The aim of RAGT breeding is to achieve a significantly higher oil content. Varieties with the Oil Plus label target an average oil content of 49% in sunflower and 44% in rapeseed.
