Wheat Lippert

Agrotechnological Potential of Winter Wheat Lippert

The registration of the Lippert variety in 2025 opens new opportunities for farms operating in the Steppe, Forest-Steppe, and Polissya zones. This complex hybrid from Strube D&S GmbH demonstrates high adaptability, confirmed by its morphological features: a well-developed waxy coating on the straw and flag leaf, which serves as a reliable barrier against intense insolation and moisture loss during dry periods.

Cultivation Recommendations

• Sowing Dates: Given its winter growth habit and late heading start, the variety requires strict adherence to optimal agrotechnical windows for the region. Early sowing may lead to overgrowth, so it is crucial to focus on soil temperature (optimum +12...+15°C).
• Placement and Soil: Lippert shows stable results across a wide range of soil types. Due to its medium stem height and semi-erect bush habit, the variety utilizes nutritional space efficiently. It is recommended to avoid overly dense sowing to ensure optimal canopy ventilation.
• Phase-Specific Care: During the tillering phase, the variety shows moderate ligule development and an absence of anthocyanin coloration in the coleoptile, indicating good initial immunity. The intense waxy coating on the upper internode helps reduce stress during spring temperature fluctuations.

The grain is characterized by its large size and red color, which, combined with the pyramidal shape of the ear, ensures high yield potential. When applying fertilizers, it should be noted that the variety has a medium ear density; therefore, nitrogen application during the stem elongation phase promotes the formation of a full ear and increases the thousand-kernel weight.
