Breed characteristics
The variety is very productive, with compensatory type, well-filled ears of grain. in 2020 in private trials of Dotnuva Baltic winter wheat varieties, it was the most productive of the 65 studied varieties, the yield was 12.38 t ha-1. Grows a strong root system in the fall, grows the above-ground part strongly in the spring. A strong and developed root system influences the efficient absorption of water and nutrients. Grows well in low productivity, light soils where wheat does not grow well, tolerant to short-term droughts and unfavorable growing conditions. Suitable for trailing. Medium-late maturity, wintery. Very resistant to powdery mildew, leaf streak, bell fusarium. Lower crop density, so fall weeding with herbicides is recommended. Intensive scrubbing requires higher rates of nitrogen fertilizers. Early sowing is recommended. Sowing rate 150-200 seeds/m2.
