Products Winter Grains Winter wheat Magnezja
Magnezja is a bread variety of winter wheat characterised by high and stable crop yields, as proven by the COBORU register studies conducted in 2022–2023. At the agrotechnical level a1, the yields reached 103% of the standard, while at a2 level
Magnezja scored 104-105% compared to the standard. The variety has very good adaptability in the varied climatic and soil conditions of Poland. It is recommended for cultivation throughout the entire country. The plants are of medium height with stiff straw, with very good resistance to lodging at the milk stage and full maturity. Magnezja stands out thanks to its high health profile, especially regarding major diseases such as yellow or brown rust, Fusarium wilt and septoria. Disease resistance has a significant impact on grain yield and technological value of the grain.
This offers the opportunity to reduce the amount of plant protection products used. The good winter hardiness (3.5) of the variety reduces the risk of loss caused by frost. This latest variety from Poznańska Hodowla Roślin has a stable yield at different
sowing standards.
