Petros

Winter wheat variety Petros (Patras) is a high-yielding German glumeless variety, distinguished by comprehensive winter hardiness and high drought tolerance. This variety forms yield through good spike density and large thousand-grain weight, ensuring stable yields ranging from 50 to 95 c/ha depending on regional climatic conditions. Petros is resistant to high temperatures, winter and spring cold, and exhibits high resistance to diseases including powdery mildew, root rots, septoria, and Fusarium head blight. To fully realize the variety's potential, fungicides and fertilizer application within an intensive cultivation system are recommended.

Plants of variety Petros reach an average height of about 88 cm and are characterized by high resistance to lodging, stem breakage, and grain shattering. The variety belongs to the group of high-quality flour varieties and has a medium-early maturity date, allowing its use in various agroclimatic zones, including the Polissia and forest-steppe regions. The recommended seeding rate is approximately 200 kg/ha, with the possibility of planting in early, optimal, and late seasons, making the variety versatile for different conditions and preceding crops such as wheat, corn, rapeseed, and cereal crops.

Petros exhibits good development both in autumn and spring, promoting vigorous tillering and formation of a robust root system. The variety is resistant to snow mold and suitable for cultivation in areas with adequate rainfall as well as in arid regions. Thanks to its combination of high yield, resistance to stress factors, and grain quality, Petros is a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality winter wheat harvest.
