TAU

Strategic choice for intensive farming

Spring wheat 'Tau' is a robust solution for agronomists looking for a balance between short vegetation periods (90-100 days) and high yield potential. Its genetic resistance to major diseases allows for optimized input management, reducing the need for aggressive fungicide applications.

Field performance and agronomic traits

The plant height of 70-80 cm provides excellent lodging resistance. This feature is particularly valuable for intensive farming, as it allows producers to apply full nitrogen rates necessary to achieve the genetic potential of 8-9 tons per hectare without fear of pre-harvest losses due to heavy rainfall or high density.

Disease control and grain quality

The 'Tau' variety acts as a shield against common regional pathogens:

• High resistance to Fusarium head blight, septoria, and brown rust protects yield quality.
• Tolerance to mycospherella leaf spot and powdery mildew keeps the canopy green for longer, maximizing photosynthetic capacity.

With a 1000-kernel weight of 40-45 grams and a gluten content of 20-25%, this variety offers versatility in both food and feed processing markets. Its high score in early-stage resilience (8 out of 9) ensures that the crop can withstand early spring temperature fluctuations, resulting in uniform stand establishment.
