ODESSKAYA 267

Focusing on stability and baking quality

"Odessa 267" is a classic breeding achievement from the SGI, favored by farms focused on producing high-quality milling wheat. This winter soft wheat variety is chosen by farmers who require a perfect balance between agronomic performance and resistance to a wide spectrum of pathogens.

Practical benefits for your farm

• Crop protection: The genetically ingrained resistance to covered smut, yellow and brown rust, as well as septoria and fusarium head blight, allows for the optimization of fungicide application costs. You save on chemicals without compromising the quality of the ear.
• Technological grain parameters: A gluten content within the range of 25-30% makes this variety highly sought after by processors. It is a predictable asset that is easier to sell at a premium price in the flour milling market.
• Sowing density: The variety forms between 4.5 and 5.0 million productive stems per hectare. This density allows for efficient use of soil nutrients and effectively covers the ground, hindering weed development in the early growth stages.

Agronomic use case

The "Odessa 267" variety performs best in fields with a decent level of agricultural management. Despite its moderate resistance to lodging, it demonstrates a stable yield potential of 6-7 tons per hectare when following recommended seeding rates and fertilization schedules. In crop rotation, it is best utilized as a primary variety for commercial grain production, where both mass and grain quality are paramount. Due to its immunity to powdery mildew and fusarium, the variety reduces the risks of mass epiphytotics even during wet spring seasons, making it a reliable 'insurance' option for regions with unpredictable climates.
