Description
Austrian breeding for premium grain quality
Winter wheat "Chico" from the renowned Austrian breeding house Probstdorfer Saatzucht Ges.m.b.H & KG is the top choice for farmers focused on achieving high-quality yields with consistent stability. This variety thrives under intensive farming conditions, demonstrating exceptional baking properties.
Key Advantages and Disease Resistance
The main strength of "Chico" is the combination of high gluten content (over 30%) and robust genetic protection. This hard wheat variety does not just deliver high volume; it guarantees superior commercial grain quality. Its defensive system against pathogens includes strong resistance to:
- Brown rust;
- Septoria;
- Powdery mildew;
- Mycosphaerella and brown leaf spot.
This natural immunity allows farmers to optimize expenditure on fungicide treatments, lowering chemical stress without sacrificing the crop's potential.
Agronomy and Potential
"Chico" features excellent lodging resistance, which is a critical factor for regions with heavy rainfall or where high nitrogen inputs are used. The variety forms a dense stand, reaching 5.0–5.5 million productive stems per hectare. With a thousand-grain weight ranging from 40 to 45 grams, it ensures high-quality grain filling. It is optimal for operations where the priority is to harvest high-protein wheat with minimal risk of pre-harvest losses.
