Wheat Glade

Field Reliability: Why Professionals Choose «Glad»

When it comes to winter wheat that needs to survive harsh winters and deliver high yields, the genetics from the Breeding and Genetics Institute are a benchmark. The «Glad» soft winter wheat variety is the choice for growers who prefer avoiding weather-related risks. With a winter hardiness rating of 9 points, this variety is highly resilient to cold stress. Its plant height (90–100 cm) eliminates the need for excessive growth regulators, as the variety is genetically resistant to lodging.

Yield Efficiency and Field Management

For a farm manager, the predictability of emergence and development is crucial. «Glad» provides excellent density, yielding 600–800 productive stems per hectare. This density directly translates into high tonnage in the combine hopper. With a yield potential of 100–120 centners per hectare, the variety performs best when provided with an adequate fertilizer program to unlock its full genetic potential.

• Vegetation Period: 270–280 days, allowing for efficient crop rotation planning.
• Grain Metrics: 1,000-kernel weight of 45–52 grams. This is a large, well-filled grain that passes through cleaning systems with minimal loss.
• Quality: Gluten content of 28–32% makes this variety highly attractive to processors.

Managing this variety is straightforward: the awned structure does not hinder harvesting equipment, and the uniformity of the stand simplifies combine calibration. You are getting a variety with predictable performance that consistently delivers yields when standard agronomic practices are followed.
