Lars

German precision for high-yield wheat production

The winter wheat variety «Lars» from Saaten-Union is engineered for growers who prioritize consistency and top-tier performance. As a high-quality soft wheat, it is designed to thrive under intensive farming systems, offering a reliable path to hitting the 8–9 ton per hectare yield target.

Resilience as a cornerstone

One of the primary benefits of choosing «Lars» is its robust resistance profile. By naturally defending against common yield-robbing pathogens, this variety reduces the pressure on your fungicide spray schedule. Specifically, it exhibits strong resistance to snow mold, yellow rust, and septoria of the ear. This makes it a perfect candidate for fields prone to moisture stress or areas where leaf and ear diseases have historically been a challenge.

• Disease Defense: Excellent protection against brown leaf rust, powdery mildew, and fusarium head blight, ensuring healthier grain at harvest.
• Strong Morphology: With a plant height of 60–70 cm, «Lars» offers superior lodging resistance, allowing for optimal nitrogen management.
• Quality Grain: A 1,000-kernel weight of 45–50 grams and a gluten content of 25–30% ensure meeting commercial mill standards.

With a vegetation period of 310–320 days, the variety allows for a steady growth cycle that maximizes nutrient uptake. By maintaining a target of 4.0–4.5 million productive stems per hectare, producers can ensure a dense, high-yielding canopy that stays upright until the combine enters the field.

Practical application in your rotation

«Lars» is chosen by farmers who demand operational ease. Because of its short, sturdy straw, it performs exceptionally well under high-input conditions. Whether you are aiming for high-protein grain or maximizing pure tonnage, the physiological stability of this German-bred variety provides peace of mind throughout the growing season.
