LNZ PROTECT
Medium-maturity variety for stress conditions
A medium-maturity winter wheat variety that delivers high yield potential under stress conditions. It is undemanding as to growing conditions and previous crops, and performs best in the Forest-Steppe and Polissia zones.
Key advantages
- Stable yield under drought
- High protein content
- Excellent resistance to root rot
- High winter hardiness
What to keep in mind
- Late spring regrowth — the variety starts later in spring, which is taken into account when planning top dressing.
- The lowest yield potential in the range (9–10.5 t/ha) — this variety is about stability under stress, not about records.
- Recommended zone is Polissia and the Forest-Steppe; demanding as to soil.
