About this product

Pleyada Winter Wheat

Pleyada is a medium-maturity, awnless winter bread wheat in quality group B, adapted to the Polissia and Forest-Steppe zones of western and central-northern Ukraine. The tall variety (90-95 cm) pairs an 8/9 winter-hardiness score with 8/9 lodging resistance, holding through hard winters and dense stands.

Disease tolerance is a further strength, rated 8/9 against leaf rust and Septoria and 7.5/9 against powdery mildew and Fusarium head blight. It fits an intensive rotation on a mid-early to late sowing window at 3.5-4.5 million seeds per hectare.
