Panna

Stable yields in risky farming conditions

The "Panna" wheat variety from the Selection and Genetics Institute (Odesa) is a choice for farmers who prioritize predictability. The main feature of this variety lies in its robust nature, requiring minimal fungicidal input. Thanks to its high genetic resistance to various types of rust, septoria, and fusarium, the variety effectively withstands epiphytotics that often destroy crops during the grain-filling period.

Agronomic profile and productivity

The variety is mid-season (vegetation period of 270–280 days) and exhibits distinct semi-dwarf growth. Its plant height of 60–70 cm makes it exceptionally resistant to lodging. This is a crucial factor for farms operating on high-productivity agro-backgrounds: you can safely increase nitrogen fertilizer doses without fearing crop losses due to the wheat "flattening" to the ground.

• Grain quality: A gluten content of over 30% places Panna in the category of strong wheat.
• Yield potential: In favorable years, the variety produces 5–6 tons per hectare.
• Stand density: It forms 4.0–4.5 million productive stems per hectare, ensuring a well-developed ear.

Who is this variety for?

Panna is ideal for regions with unstable moisture levels and a high risk of fungal cereal diseases. The variety forgives timing errors in pesticide application, as it possesses natural immunity to root rot, as well as stem, loose, and covered smut. Unlike taller analogs, it holds the crop better until harvest, which reduces losses during combining.

If your goal is to obtain high-quality food-grade grain with moderate chemical expenditure, this variety will become a reliable tool in your crop rotation.
