KRASSAR

Hard Wheat of Intensive Type

Krassar is a variety of spring durum wheat, developed through the collaboration of the Lukyanenko National Grain Center and the Agricultural Research Center of the South-East. This variety is designed for intensive farming systems, where it can reach a yield potential of 8–9 tons per hectare. Unlike standard varieties, it offers a robust combination of productivity and resistance to leaf rust, which is essential for maintaining grain quality in regions with high infection pressure.

Agronomic Profile

• Development Type: Spring, providing flexibility in crop rotation.
• Grain Characteristics: The weight of 1000 seeds ranges between 35–40 grams.
• Lodging Resistance: High, reducing harvest losses in high-yield conditions.
• Phytosanitary Protection: Strong genetic resistance to leaf rust and protection against stem smut.

Who Should Choose Krassar?

This variety is ideal for producers focused on high-quality grain for export. The high genetic potential requires strict adherence to agrotechnology: to realize the 8–9 ton potential, the crop requires precise nitrogen management and weed control during critical growth stages. Compared to soft wheat varieties, Krassar is more sensitive to temperature fluctuations during the grain-filling stage, making it most effective in regions with stable moisture levels during the peak growing season. Its durability against major diseases ensures a stable performance even under unfavorable environmental conditions.
