MANDARIN

European Genetics for High-Performance Farming

The spring wheat variety «Mandarim» is a prime example of the successful collaboration between leading European breeding companies. Developed by the Austrian company Probstdorfer Saatzucht Ges.m.b.H & KG, in partnership with Saatzucht Donau and France’s Secobra Recherches, this variety represents the pinnacle of modern plant breeding. It is designed specifically to perform under intensive agricultural conditions, offering a blend of high productivity and robust health.

Superior Disease Resistance

One of the defining characteristics of «Mandarim» is its impressive genetic tolerance to common cereal pathogens. In regions where fungal diseases pose a significant threat to yields, this variety provides essential protection against:

• Mycosphaerella leaf spot (septoria complex);
• Brown spot;
• Rust diseases, which are notorious for destroying yield potential.

By integrating these resistance traits, the variety helps farmers reduce the reliance on intensive fungicide programs, ensuring a healthier crop and a more predictable harvest result.

Yield Potential and Market Positioning

With a potential yield of 7–8 tonnes per hectare, «Mandarim» is positioned as a high-intensity variety suitable for professional farm operations. Its Austrian heritage is a testament to the stringent quality standards applied throughout its development. For growers, this variety offers a reliable return on investment, provided that optimal agronomic practices, including precision nitrogen management and proper seeding density, are followed.

Currently, «Mandarim» remains a key asset for farmers looking to leverage foreign genetics to achieve competitive yields. It is a proven solution for those who prioritize both grain quality and the ability to withstand common environmental and pathological pressures during the growing season.
