Dijon

Stable yields in challenging conditions: why professionals choose "Dijon"

AF "Ukrainske nasinnya" presents "Dijon," a soft winter wheat variety designed for agronomists who prioritize a balance between high production intensity and comprehensive biological protection. With a growing season of 280–290 days, this variety reliably completes its developmental cycle, achieving a yield potential of 9–10 tons per hectare, making it highly attractive for farms with optimized fertilizer management systems.

Biological armor

The main argument for choosing "Dijon" is its genetic resistance to a wide range of pathogens. Unlike many varieties that require constant fungicide pressure, this variety demonstrates high resistance to:

• Loose smut and covered smut;
• Yellow rust and leaf rust;
• Powdery mildew.

The ability to resist diseases that typically consume a significant portion of the harvest in high-humidity conditions significantly optimizes expenditure on chemical crop protection.

Agronomic profile

"Dijon" is classified as a medium-height variety (70–80 cm), which ensures good resistance to lodging even with high nitrogen application rates. This allows growers to push for maximum yields without fearing losses during harvest. Grain quality indicators consistently remain within the 25–30% gluten content range, meeting milling wheat standards.

With a plant density of 4.5–5.0 million productive stems per hectare and a 1000-seed weight of 40–45 grams, the variety forms a dense canopy. It is an optimal choice for farms looking for the perfect balance between intensive grain filling and reliability in volatile climatic conditions.
