BASALTIC

High-Performance Winter Wheat for Intensive Farming

"Bazaltik" winter wheat, developed by the French company Lidea, is engineered for farmers who prioritize yield stability and efficiency. Its compact plant architecture (40-50 cm height) is a major asset in intensive farming systems. Because of this low-profile structure, the variety shows excellent lodging resistance, allowing for optimal nitrogen fertilizer application without the risk of plant collapse, supporting its high yield potential of 8-9 tons per hectare.

Genetic Shield Against Common Pathogens

Effective disease management is crucial for maintaining crop health and grain quality. Bazaltik provides a strong defense system, significantly reducing the pressure on chemical crop protection programs. It shows robust genetic resistance to the most common threats:

• Yellow and brown rust;
• Septoria;
• Fusarium head blight;
• Powdery mildew.

By integrating Bazaltik into your crop rotation, you can optimize your fungicide strategy and focus resources on maximizing ear development and grain filling.

Practical Field Performance

With a winter hardiness rating of 7 points, Bazaltik is well-adapted to withstand typical cold stresses, ensuring a reliable stand come spring. Its primary advantage is its technological adaptability: the short stem facilitates field operations, ensures easier access for machinery, and simplifies the harvesting process. For an agronomist, choosing Bazaltik means choosing a reliable asset that maintains high yield potential even in years with significant disease pressure.
