Extra

Stability in Short-Summer Conditions

The “Extra” spring wheat variety is the result of intensive selection, combining the expertise of UrFANITs UrO RAN and Darry Malinovki. Designed for regions with dynamic climate patterns, this variety demonstrates remarkable resistance to a complex of fungal diseases, including powdery mildew, stem smut, and brown leaf spot.

The key advantage of “Extra” is its flexible vegetation period (80–100 days). This allows agronomists to adjust sowing schedules to match specific seasonal temperature regimes. With a plant height of 60–70 cm, the crop is highly resistant to lodging, which is vital for efficient mechanical harvesting.

Technical Specifications and Potential

• 1,000-kernel weight: 35–40 grams, providing a solid foundation for a dense stand.
• Type: Soft spring wheat, optimized for intensive cultivation technologies.
• Phytosanitary resilience: A robust defense against rust and mycosphaerella leaf spot reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications.

Strengths: Superior immunity to a wide range of pathogens and high agricultural performance. The variety is forgiving of minor deviations in sowing dates due to its adaptive maturation cycle. Who is this for: This variety is an ideal choice for farms in regions where early frosts or excessive autumn rainfall make harvest timing critical. “Extra” is a safe bet for predictable field performance in environments where other varieties might succumb to high infection pressure.
