About this product
Friski Winter Wheat
Friski is a medium-maturing bread wheat (quality group B) of German breeding, positioned for the Forest-Steppe and Polissia zones of Ukraine. Awnless and medium-statured at 80-85 cm, it combines very high winter hardiness (8/9) with strong tillering and a 9/9 lodging-resistance rating. Disease tolerance is broad, led by 8/9 scores against leaf rust and powdery mildew. It suits late sowing windows and is flexible on predecessors, fitting intensive bread-wheat rotations.
