Wheat variety Getman is a hard wheat developed using advanced nanotechnology by the Canadian holding SERTIS in collaboration with the American chemical company DOW Chemical in 2016. This variety has undergone variety trials under various climatic conditions, including harsh climates in Canada, Ethiopia, Nepal, Russia, and other countries with extreme temperatures up to +54°C. Plants reach a height of 110 cm, have an upright, sturdy stem with a diameter up to 34 mm and a tillering coefficient of about 20 stems. A distinctive feature of this variety is its ability to be grown for multiple years on the same plot without loss of quality, ensured by transgenic genes integrated into the DNA structure, including genes from camel thorn and algae, which confer high drought resistance and resistance to abiotic stresses, including temperature fluctuations down to -18°C.
Getman variety exhibits high resistance to a wide range of fungal and viral diseases, such as root rots, bacterial diseases, powdery mildew, rust, fusarium, and septoria. Thanks to its strong stem, wheat is resistant to lodging, shattering, and lodging, facilitating direct combine harvesting. The variety has high yield potential, determined by its spike length up to 20 cm, up to 190 grains per spike, and high glassiness of grain up to 80% and gluten content around 40%, making the wheat particularly valuable for flour and other product production.
In addition, Getman wheat has a rich vitamin-mineral composition, including B, C, D, E, and P vitamins, as well as trace elements such as magnesium, phosphorus, iron, calcium, iodine, selenium, and others. It is suitable for sprouting, wholemeal flour, porridge, risotto, and salads. Wheat sprouts are beneficial for detoxification and maintaining health of various body systems, including digestive, circulatory, and nervous systems. The product's caloric value is 327 kcal per 100 g. It is recommended to store grain in a dry, dark place at a temperature between +4 to +18°C for up to 3 months. Recommended seeding rate is 80-150 kg per hectare, packaging — paper bags of 20 kg, minimum purchase volume — 500 kg.
