Wheat Brigantina

Stability and Risk Management: Working with «Brigantina» Winter Wheat

When selecting seeds, any agronomist seeks a balance between yield potential and protection against environmental stress. With the «Brigantina» variety, Deutsche Saatveredelung has prioritized reliability. This soft winter wheat variety performs predictably in the field, even under fluctuating weather conditions.

Agronomic Potential and Resilience

«Brigantina» shows excellent resistance to major yield-robbing diseases: fusarium head blight, brown rust, and common bunt. This allows for optimized fungicide spending, as the crop naturally resists powdery mildew and various rust strains.

With a vegetation period of 90-100 days, the variety effectively realizes its genetic potential. This is crucial for mechanized harvesting, ensuring minimal losses and avoiding the «flattened» crops that usually cause equipment downtime.

Key Field Metrics

• Winter Hardiness: Rated at 7-9 points, acting as a crucial insurance policy for regions with harsh winters.
• Plant Dimensions: A height of 90-100 cm ensures ease of threshing with standard header settings.
• Grain Quality: A thousand-kernel weight (TKW) of 35-40 grams, providing strong germination and dense stand establishment.

«Brigantina» is a dependable tool for any agronomist. It doesn't demand impossible conditions but is highly responsive to proper agronomic practices. For farms focused on export-grade quality and stable production, this variety remains one of the most rational choices among the developments by Deutsche Saatveredelung.
