LG Strimac

Reliable Yields with a Focus on Phytosanitary Quality

The LG Strimak winter wheat variety from the French breeding house Limagrain is a strategic choice for farms focused on risk mitigation in intensive farming systems. This soft wheat variety has proven itself as a reliable tool for consistent grain production in temperate climates, where resistance to widespread pathogens is the decisive factor for profitability.

Biological Potential and Field Performance

Agronomists favor this variety for its balanced combination of morphology and biological robustness. With a plant height of 80-90 cm, the crop shows excellent lodging resistance, which simplifies harvesting operations and reduces grain losses. An optimal plant density (4.0-4.5 million productive tillers per hectare) allows the variety to utilize soil moisture and nutrient resources with maximum efficiency.

Crop Protection: Resistance to Key Diseases

The core advantage of LG Strimak is its strong genetic resistance. In crop rotations with high disease pressure, the variety exhibits high tolerance to threats such as:

• Mycosphaerella leaf spot and brown spot;
• Powdery mildew;
• Various types of rust, including yellow and brown rust;
• Fusarium head blight.

This allows growers to optimize their fungicide application schedule, reducing operational costs per hectare without sacrificing final yields.

Practical Cultivation Guidelines

The high winter hardiness (8-9 points) makes LG Strimak a dependable choice for regions with challenging winter conditions. A thousand-kernel weight (TKW) of 40-45 grams ensures uniform seedling emergence when sowing depth is managed correctly. With a gluten content of 20-25%, LG Strimak fits perfectly into the segment of varieties that consistently produce good yields for processing or commercial use, while retaining the potential to improve quality indicators through strategic nitrogen fertilization.
