Wheat Getman

German breeding for high baking standards

The «Hetman» wheat variety from Strube is a prominent representative of durum spring wheat, developed by German breeders for farmers focused on high-quality grain production. In today's market, where gluten requirements are constantly rising, this variety occupies a niche of a premium product, boasting a protein and gluten content of over 30%, which makes it highly sought after by flour-milling enterprises.

Agronomic profile and crop protection

The genetic resistance of «Hetman» allows farmers to significantly optimize fungicide application costs. Strube’s selection traditionally relies on complex immunity, and this variety is no exception. It effectively resists a wide range of pathogens:

• Fungal diseases: Mycosphaerella leaf spot, brown spot, and Fusarium head blight.
• Rust diseases: Reliable protection against leaf and stem infections.
• Infections: Resistance to rot and onion smut.
• Epiphytotics: High resistance to powdery mildew.

The plants reach a height of 100–110 cm. This is an optimal parameter for forming a strong stem, which, combined with excellent lodging resistance, minimizes harvest losses. The uniform stand and even ripening allow for maximum efficiency during mechanical harvesting.

Market positioning

«Hetman» spring wheat is a choice for farmers who are not willing to compromise between harvest quality and yield volume. Its German heritage ensures high adaptability to temperate climate zones. For agricultural producers, this means a predictable result: consistently high grain test weight and excellent baking properties, directly influencing business margins at the end of the season.
