Triticale Rufus

Stable yields even under stress

When working with Rufus winter triticale from Saaten-Union, you realize why it’s worth the investment.

Agronomic advantages

• High resistance threshold to fungal diseases: septoria and powdery mildew are rarely a concern in these stands.
• Autumn stability: thanks to excellent resistance to snow mold, the crop survives winter with minimal stand loss.
• Protection flexibility: the variety is forgiving regarding chemical application timing due to its natural tolerance to diseases.

For an agronomist, this brings peace of mind. Seeing an even, dense field after winter without bare spots confirms the value of premium genetics. Rufus from Nordsaat Saatzucht is a tool for those who prefer not to gamble with the weather. The plant features a strong stem, which is critical to preventing lodging during intensive nitrogen fertilization. Harvesting is efficient; it threshes cleanly, and fuel consumption remains optimized since the variety doesn't produce excessive vegetative mass that slows down the combine.
