Wheat RGT KAPSUR

Agronomic Profile of RGT CAPSUR

Registered in 2024, RGT CAPSUR is a complex hybrid of durum wheat (facultative type) developed by RAGT 2n. Designed for high performance, this hybrid is suitable for cultivation across all major agro-climatic zones of Ukraine: Steppe, Forest-Steppe, and Polissya. Its primary advantage lies in its high adaptability to varying moisture levels and soil types.

Cultivation and Management Practices

• Sowing Strategy: As a facultative variety, RGT CAPSUR offers flexibility in planting dates. Whether sown in autumn or early spring, the key is to ensure optimal soil temperature (above +5°C) and sufficient moisture for uniform germination.
• Seeding Density: To maximize yield potential, a seeding rate of 4.5–5.5 million viable seeds per hectare is recommended, depending on the specific soil fertility and local climatic conditions.
• Nutrient Requirements: This hybrid responds exceptionally well to split nitrogen applications, particularly during the tillering and stem elongation stages. Maintaining a balanced supply of micronutrients is essential to ensure the high vitreousness required for durum wheat quality.
• Crop Protection: Intensive management is advised. Fungicide applications during the stem elongation and heading stages are critical to protect the flag leaf, which is vital for grain filling and disease resistance.

RGT CAPSUR provides farmers with a robust solution to mitigate climate-related risks, combining the genetic potential of a modern hybrid with the versatility of a facultative growth habit.
