Sikorka
For versatile use!

- Sikorka is a DANKO-bred winter wheat variety characterized by high yields under both medium-intensive and intensive cultivation systems.
- It performs excellently on medium-quality soils.
- Sikorka has a very high falling number and gluten content – E quality level. Its protein content is on the borderline between the B and C quality groups, which resulted in its registration in the C group. To increase the protein content in the grain, top-dressing with approx. 30 kg N/ha is recommended.
- Sikorka has good disease resistance, particularly to powdery mildew, yellow rust, brown rust and Fusarium head blight. Intensive fungicide protection is not required, helping to optimize production costs.
- It has high tolerance to soil acidity, making it suitable for cultivation on soils with unregulated pH.
- It is characterized by good resistance to pre-harvest sprouting.
- Produces attractive grain with a TGW of approx. 45–48 g.
- A medium-height variety (similar in type to Tytanika wheat) with good lodging resistance. However, under intensive cultivation, stem shortening or stiffening is recommended.
- Sikorka has very good tillering ability; a reduced sowing rate is recommended.
- At the optimum sowing date, the recommended sowing rate is 310–350 viable seeds/m² (approx. 160–170 kg/ha).
