Wheat Fortecia Polissia

Stability in Unpredictable Climates

"Kripist Poliska" (Polissya Fortress) is a breeding product of the National Scientific Center "Institute of Agriculture of the NAAS", specifically developed for regions with challenging agricultural conditions. This soft winter wheat variety has established itself as a reliable choice for farmers who prioritize yield stability over intensive, high-risk cropping models.

Agronomic Potential

The variety belongs to the mid-season category, with a vegetation period of 270–280 days. Plant height ranges from 90–100 cm, which, combined with excellent lodging resistance, allows the crop to utilize soil nutrients and fertilizer efficiently while remaining upright even during heavy rain. Key performance indicators include:

• Potential Yield: 8–11 metric tons per hectare depending on the agricultural management intensity.
• Grain Quality: Gluten content of 25–30%, making it a valuable input for the milling industry.
• Seed Weight: 1000-kernel weight of 40–45 grams, ensuring well-filled heads.

Immunity and Resilience

The core strength of "Kripist Poliska" lies in its combination of high winter hardiness (rated 8–9 points) and comprehensive resistance to major pathogens. The breeding process specifically addressed the pressure of common fungal diseases:

• Brown wheat rust;
• Septoria;
• Fusarium head blight;
• Powdery mildew.

This "genetic shield" allows growers to minimize fungicide applications, effectively reducing production costs without compromising the quality of the commercial grain. It is a strategic choice for those seeking a balance between predictable outcomes and high grain quality.
