<p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;">Farming is facing major challenges linked to climate change, complex regulations and highly fluctuating markets. Today, rapeseed needs to <strong>withstand</strong> drought at the start and end of the cycle, adapt to insect attacks in autumn and <strong>improve nitrogen efficiency</strong>. 10 years ago, these challenges were not as acute.</p><p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;"><strong>To help farmers </strong>increase their harvests and yields now and in the future,<strong> Lidea restructured its R&amp;D programme 10&nbsp;years ago to meet today’s challenges.</strong></p><p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;">Thanks to the work carried out by our breeders, this new flow is <strong>the result of a gamble on the future and an innovative method </strong>combining a scientific approach and fieldwork. <strong>The result: high-performance hybrids that meet the challenge of responding to all the specific needs of farmers</strong>.</p><p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;"><strong>Our varieties launched in 2023 exceed European rapeseed standards</strong>, as shown by the results obtained in all the official trials and distributor trials.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;"><strong>In Europe in 2024, &nbsp;+ 175,000 ha sown with Lidea varieties compared to 2023, i.e. a total of 519,000 ha.</strong></p><p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;">Our achievements are now being noticed across Europe’s agricultural sector. Our gene flow offers farmers <strong>new perspectives for building a sustainable and profitable future.</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><h3 style="color: #DEDC00; font-family: roboto; font-weight: bold;">

   MAIN CRITERIA
</h3>
<hr style="border: 0; height: 2px; background-color: #DEDC00;"></div><ul><li>High and stable yield: to ensure crop performance</li><li>High quality: for competitive and efficient production</li><li>Phoma tolerance: this is crucial since phoma resistance can be achieved only through a varietal choice</li><li>Stem elongation: important to ensure cold tolerance</li><li>Pod shattering resistance: a critical factor for mechanised harvesting</li></ul><div class="raw-html-embed"><h3 style="color: #DEDC00; font-family: roboto; font-weight: bold;">
   ADDITIONAL CRITERIA TO ADAPT TO DIFFERENT CONDITIONS

   A SMART CHOICE FOR CROP ROTATION AND REDUCING DISEASE PRESSURE
</h3>
<hr style="border: 0; height: 2px; background-color: #DEDC00;"></div><p style="margin-left:0in;text-align:justify;">Rapeseed is an excellent break crop, helping to diversify rotations and disrupt cereal monocultures. Introducing a non-cereal crop into your rotation brings multiple agronomic benefits — improving soil structure, enhancing fertility, and reducing the pressure from diseases, pests, and weeds. In particular, winter oilseed rape plays a key role in lowering the risk of mycotoxin contamination when grown in rotation with cereals.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center"><img style="aspect-ratio:630/356;" src="https://api-com.lidea-seeds.com/uploads/2025/05/rapeseed_field.png" width="630" height="356"></figure><div class="raw-html-embed"><h3 style="color: #DEDC00; font-family: roboto; font-weight: bold;">
