Special features of winter wheat Iskra
- Very high resistance to fungal diseases (genes for resistance to powdery mildew and brown rust).
- Rht8 semi-dwarfing gene – highest resistance to lodging at full maturity and milk maturity stages.
- Robust and uniform grain with high hectoliter weight.
Other information
- Highly adaptable to different soil conditions and varied sites.
- Very high and stable yield levels throughout Poland – grain yield from the 2022 harvest at a1 – 107% of the reference, at a2 – 105% of the reference.
- Very high grain quality parameters – many of them were rated at the level of elite wheat at the stage of registration tests at COBORU.
- Insensitive to chlortoluron.
- Medium-early variety, with good tolerance to soil acidification.
- Great for milling purposes.
- High falling number, good protein content and good rheological parameters.
- Low plants with very stiff straw.
- Very good health profile against all diseases.
- Very good tillering.
- In the company’s own tests, testing different planting density and reducing the seeding rate did not significantly reduce yields. This can be of great importance in reducing seeding costs.
