Winter wheat variety QUINTUS is a medium-early maturing variety with early heading and high productivity potential. Plants are low-growing, ranging from 65 to 79 cm in height, bushy, and provide uniform productive tiller density. The variety is characterized by high spike density, forming a large number of grains, which contributes to high yield. QUINTUS is adaptable and responds well to both early and late sowing, up to mid-April. For maximum productivity on high fertility soils, growth regulators and fertilizers are recommended.
The variety exhibits high resistance to rust diseases, including brown and yellow rust, as well as to septoria and fusarium, which reduces fungicide use and ensures economical cultivation. QUINTUS also has good drought and cold tolerance, making it suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, including the Forest Steppe, Polesie, and Steppe.
The grain quality of variety QUINTUS is high: protein content reaches 13.8%, gluten content — 23%. The grain has moderate raw protein content and high sedimentation number, indicating good baking properties. Sowing rate varies depending on sowing time and ranges from 4.5 to 6.0 million germinating seeds per hectare. Due to its agronomic and biological characteristics, variety QUINTUS is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality wheat yields.
