Winter wheat LG Orlice is an intensive variety developed through hybridization followed by individual selection, ensuring high yield and adaptability. This variety is characterized by high plasticity and can withstand significant doses of mineral and organic fertilizers, making it suitable for cultivation following both rotation and non-rotation crops, including silage maize, grain pea, and perennial grasses. The optimal sowing period is from September 10 to 25, which contributes to achieving maximum yield when agronomic requirements are met.
LG Orlice belongs to the medium-early maturing varieties with plant height of about 80-85 cm and medium stem density. It exhibits good lodging resistance and high grain number per ear, positively affecting yield. The variety has medium protein content and medium sedimentation capacity, corresponding to class V of food wheat. Due to its winter hardiness and regenerative ability, LG Orlice is successfully grown in the Polesie and Forest-Steppe regions, demonstrating stable performance even under variable climate conditions.
Special attention has been paid to disease resistance: it exhibits high resistance to leaf septoria, yellow and brown rust, Fusarium ear blight, and powdery mildew. Winter hardiness, drought resistance, and lodging resistance levels are high, making LG Orlice a reliable choice for intensive cultivation technologies. The seeding rate is 3.5 to 5 million seeds per hectare, allowing optimal plant density and maximum productivity.
