Wheat GRANTA

Stability and Phytosanitary Reliability

Winter soft wheat 'Granta' is a product of the Rostov Agrarian Research Center, developed specifically to combat the challenges of southern farming: the rapid spread of fungal diseases. This beardless variety is tailored for producers looking to optimize fungicide usage while maintaining high grain quality.

Defensive Potential Against Epiphytotics

The main advantage of this variety is its comprehensive resistance to major foliar and ear infections. 'Granta' demonstrates robust performance in fields under pressure from various pathogens:

• Yellow and Brown Wheat Rust;
• Septoria;
• Powdery Mildew;
• Fusarium head blight.

This inherent genetic protection allows farmers to manage spray schedules with flexibility, maintaining intervals of up to 45–50 days. This is a critical advantage during weather windows that restrict machine access to fields.

Agronomic Characteristics

As a winter soft wheat variety, 'Granta' exhibits excellent lodging resistance. This allows for intensive farming practices and higher nitrogen application rates without the risk of crop collapse. The absence of awns simplifies harvesting operations, especially in high-density stands. 'Granta' is the optimal choice for producers prioritizing reliability and consistency. Its strongest point is resistance to ear diseases, which ensures harvest cleanliness even during humid ripening periods. While it requires a sound agrotechnical background, the variety rewards high-input management with high yields and stable grain quality.
