BOBBY

Winter Triticale "Bobby": Field Performance Overview

When we switched to growing winter triticale from Saaten-Union, our main goal was crop stability while minimizing fungicide costs. The "Bobby" variety fully met these expectations. It is German breeding, and it performs in the field exactly as you would expect from European quality: predictably and reliably.

Crop Health and Resistance

The most important thing for an agronomist is spending less time with the sprayer. Throughout our experience with "Bobby," it has demonstrated exceptional resistance to a complex of diseases. We hardly had to fight against brown rust or septoria — the variety has excellent natural immunity. Powdery mildew was not an issue either, even in years with high humidity. We were particularly impressed by its resistance to Fusarium head blight, resulting in clean grain, which is critical for market quality and fodder value.

Operational Features

• Sowing: The variety tillers exceptionally well, allowing for minor adjustments in seeding rates without losing the density of the productive stand.
• Winter hardiness: It adapted to local climatic conditions successfully, showing stable overwintering even with significant temperature fluctuations.
• Harvesting: Heading is uniform, and maturation is synchronous, simplifying combine settings. The grain does not shatter, which provides a buffer during the harvest season.

If you are looking for a high-tech variety that forgives minor errors in crop protection and delivers a stable feed or food yield, "Bobby" is the choice. This is a crop for those who are accustomed to working with professional seed material, where every euro invested turns into an extra quintal in the granary.
