Oilseed rape bred by DSV –
success as a result of innovation and tradition
Oilseed Rape
We have been part of the success of oilseed rape (OSR) breeding in Europe since the 1960s, and have
contributed substantially to the innovations that have been essential for the expansion of the crop.
While OSR breeding technology has evolved over the decades, the goal is still the same: to deliver
improved varieties for our customers’ success. We offer a wide range of varieties to meet the needs of
Cereals / Lupin
farmers all over Europe and beyond. Our European testing network ensures that we are able to
identify the varieties from our global portfolio that are the optimum fit for local conditions anywhere.
Focused on hybrids
In our OSR breeding we are focusing on hybrids for more than 20 years. Beside the higher yield
achieved by hybrids, the hybrid breeding allows us to introduce new disease resistances such as
Turf
TuYV or clubroot more quickly than in the past. Thus, we are able to react flexible to changing
farmer’s needs.
International distribution
Forage Crops
Depending on the country, our varieties are distributed under DSV or RAPOOL brand.

DSV cereal breeding – a story of success
Wheat and barley breeding
Oilseed Rape
In our winter wheat breeding programmes the focus is on developing high-yielding varieties with
well-balanced agronomic features, good resistance package and baking quality. In winter barley,
varieties are selected mainly for the characteristics of yield, health, resistances, straw stability, winter
hardiness and grain quality. We are very pleased that as of this year we are able to offer farmers
two resistant varieties, SENSATION and PARADIES, which enable the cultivation of barley on sites
Cereals / Lupin
with barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) or baley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV). Over the last twenty
years, we have steadily expanded our breeding activities in cereals. In addition to the main seed
breeding station in Leutewitz, Germany, DSV has now three other seed breeding stations in European
key markets – in France, Ukraine and in the United Kingdom. Our own Europe-wide testing network
allows the selective breeding on environmentally stable varieties suited to all of the major cereal
growing regions in Western and Eastern Europe. DSV has also a strong partnership with two
Turf
breeding companies for spring wheat. The international distribution of these spring wheat varieties
is organised by DSV.
International distribution
DSV is one of the market leaders in cereals in Germany and DSV varieties have been introduced
Forage Crops
to the market successfully in many other countries as well. Depending on the country, DSV cereal
varieties are sold through wholly-owned subsidiaries or distribution partners. In 2016 DSV started
its own distribution line for cereals in Germany.
