Praktik

French genetics for high-performance farming

The winter wheat variety "Praktik" by RAGT is the choice for growers focused on high, stable yields in intensive farming conditions. French breeding by RAGT traditionally prioritizes the balance between modern technological requirements and production potential, and this variety fully embodies that philosophy.

Agronomic profile and productivity

With a short plant stature (70-80 cm), this variety provides excellent lodging resistance, which is critical when applying high doses of nitrogen fertilizer. With a growing season of 260-270 days, the variety fits perfectly into classic crop rotation schemes, allowing for effective use of autumn and winter moisture.

Grain quality indicators are highly competitive: gluten content ranges between 25-30%, and a thousand-kernel weight (TKW) of 40-45 grams ensures marketability. A potential yield of 9-10 tons per hectare makes "Praktik" a powerful tool for farms willing to invest in quality crop protection and nutrition.

Defense potential

A key advantage of this variety is its complex disease resistance, significantly reducing the pesticide load during critical growth stages:

• Root and basal rots: reliable protection during the early development stages.
• Leaf health: high resistance to yellow and brown rust, septoria, and tan spot (Pyrenophora).
• Ear infections: tolerance to fusarium head blight helps minimize grain quality losses before harvest.

"Praktik" is optimal for farms with intensive management, where outcome predictability is paramount. Thanks to its semi-dwarf structure and robust immunity, the variety is highly resilient, though it performs at its absolute peak when mineral nutrition protocols are strictly followed.
