Wheat Forsait

Reliable Yields in Challenging Conditions

Forsait winter wheat is designed for growers who prioritize profitability long before the sowing season. From an operational standpoint, this soft wheat variety is forgiving and adapts well to various agricultural practices. Its height of 85–95 cm is optimal for standard combine harvesters: moderate straw thickness and high lodging resistance mean you won't lose crops to wind or heavy rain. You won't waste time constantly adjusting your header for tangled or lodged crops.

Disease Resistance and Maintenance

Forsait’s primary strength is its "immunity." The variety shows exceptional resistance to a wide range of fungal diseases. In practical terms, this translates into tangible savings on fungicides. Under field conditions, it effectively resists powdery mildew, brown spot, mycosphaerella spot, and various rots. Reducing chemical applications leads to direct savings in your per-hectare budget.

Winter Hardiness and Potential

With a vegetation period of 265–285 days, Forsait fully realizes its genetic yield potential. A winter hardiness score of 8–9 out of 9 serves as insurance against unpredictable seasonal shifts. Even after harsh winters, the stands remain dense, eliminating the need for reseeding. With intensive management, a yield potential of 80–110 c/ha is a realistic target rather than just a theoretical figure.

Grain Quality and Harvesting

For those targeting export or domestic processing, the gluten content of 24–28% is a significant asset. The grain is highly manageable: a 1000-seed weight of 40–50 grams ensures excellent germination and uniform emergence. The awnless ears simplify the harvesting and cleaning process, minimizing mechanical clogging and downtime during the busy season.
