Rotondo
Plump Grain and Outstanding Tillering Ability!

- A short-strawed triticale variety with good straw stiffness.
- The shortest triticale variety in Poland!
- One of the most widely grown triticale varieties in Poland.
- It delivers record-high and stable yields across Poland.
- Very good frost resistance makes it suitable for cultivation throughout the country.
- It produces attractive, plump, wheat-type grain.
- Rotondo is an early-maturing variety.
- It has good overall disease resistance. However, under intensive cultivation, two fungicide treatments are recommended.
- Its outstanding tillering ability is a distinctive feature, allowing for low sowing rates and significantly reducing the cost of certified seed.
- The recommended sowing rate under optimal sowing conditions is 250–300 viable seeds/m² (approx. 130–150 kg/ha). For early sowing and intensive cultivation, the sowing rate should be reduced by 10%.
