Megan

Winter wheat variety Megan is a soft, glumeless wheat developed by Selgen, a.s. from the Czech Republic. This variety is characterized by high yield, reaching up to 90 centners per hectare, and stable productivity across all cultivation climate zones, including forest-steppe, Polesie, and steppe. The plant is of medium height — about 99 cm — which provides moderate resistance to lodging. The recommended seeding rate is 3.2–3.5 million germinating seeds per hectare, with early sowing recommended, requiring timely application of growth regulators for optimal development.

The grain quality of variety Megan meets the "A" class standard, with protein content at 14.5% and gluten content around 30%, meeting high standards for bakery production. The variety exhibits resistance to major wheat diseases such as powdery mildew, rust, fusarium, and kernel shattering, which helps preserve yield and improve grain quality.

The variety adapts well to sowing after winter cereal crops and can be used at late sowing dates, although this may slightly reduce its maturity. A key condition for successful cultivation is selecting the optimal timing for agronomic operations, especially during the plant growth phase. For grain storage, it is recommended to maintain temperature within +7–10°C and humidity no higher than 10%, ensuring product preservation and quality.
