About this product

Colonia Winter Wheat

Colonia is a medium-early winter wheat of German origin, grown across Ukraine's Polissia and forest-steppe zones as a class B food wheat. Bred for intensive management, it pairs strong standing power (lodging resistance 8/9) with balanced disease tolerance, scoring 7/9 against Septoria, brown rust, powdery mildew and Fusarium head blight. Good winter hardiness and regeneration suit early-to-optimal autumn sowing, and it recorded 13 t/ha in commercial Zhytomyr fields.
