Wheat ALTAI HARVEST

Siberian Resilience for Professional Growers

The «Zhatva Altaya» wheat variety is a product of strategic cooperation between French breeding experts and Russian research centers (SFNTSA RAS and Zolotoy Dozhd). It is specifically engineered to perform in regions facing harsh, volatile continental climates, where standard wheat varieties often fail to maintain consistency. Unlike high-input European hybrids that are sensitive to thermal stress, this variety provides predictable yields under fluctuating conditions.

Natural Defense Against Pathogens

The primary competitive advantage of «Zhatva Altaya» is its robust phytopathological shield. It effectively mitigates the need for aggressive fungicide programs, as it exhibits innate resistance to a wide range of common wheat diseases:

• High tolerance to brown, stem, and yellow rust.
• Proven resistance against Septoria.
• Significant immunity to powdery mildew, mold, and Mycosphaerella leaf spot.

By lowering the need for chemical intervention, this variety directly impacts the farm's bottom line through reduced input costs.

Morphology and Field Performance

With a height range of 60–100 cm, the plant remains compact and highly resistant to lodging, even under high-nitrogen fertilizer regimes. The growing season ranges from 300 to 330 days, necessitating precise planting schedules. The thousand-kernel weight (30–45 g) indicates a reliable and stable grain filling process. Is this for you? «Zhatva Altaya» is the optimal choice for producers operating in high-disease-pressure zones who value crop safety over speculative yield peaks. It is a workhorse variety that forgives minor agronomic errors, making it a reliable pillar for any cereal cropping system in temperate to cold climates.
