Winter wheat Bohemia

Genetic Potential and Yield Performance

Czech breeding by Selgen is globally recognized for its resilience and adaptability. The 'Bohemia' winter wheat variety is a soft wheat cultivar engineered for high-intensity farming, capable of achieving a yield potential of 10–11 tons per hectare. With a vegetative period of 270–280 days, the plant is optimized to maximize resource uptake during the early spring development phases.

Phytosanitary Resistance and Architecture

Standing 90–100 cm tall, 'Bohemia' provides a stable architectural structure for grain production. While maintaining moderate lodging resistance—which necessitates professional management of plant growth regulators—the variety excels in its defensive profile. It features high resistance levels against brown rust, septoria, and Fusarium head blight. Moreover, its biological resistance to powdery mildew helps farmers reduce chemical intervention, making it a sustainable choice for high-yield, professional-grade agricultural systems.

Grain Quality Metrics

• 1000-kernel weight: 40–45 grams, indicating excellent grain filling and density.
• Gluten content: 25–30%, ensuring consistency for milling and commercial food production.

By integrating 'Bohemia' into a crop rotation, producers can leverage a robust genetic base that effectively balances high volume yield with reliable quality parameters, even under fluctuating environmental stressors.
