Variety information

Winter wheat
Variety description: Current view Details

NORDKAP A

Quality wheat

  • High yielding allrounder with extraordinary protein content, loaf voume and flour yield
  • Good resistance to lodging, robust disease profile (especially against mildew, yellow rust, cerco)
  • Very stable falling number safes quality in humid years
High yield, high N-efficiency, sowing after wheat
NORDKAP is a new generation of variety, which brings progress along the total value chain (farmer, miller, baker and consumer)

All variety descriptions have been prepared in accordance to the best of our knowledge, considering trial results and observations. A guarantee or a liability in individual cases is not possible, because the growth conditions are subject to substantial fluctuations.

Nitrogen efficiency of wheat varieties

Fertilisation is largely capped by the amended fertilisation ordinance in Germany; further yield increases are therefore only possible through increased nutrient efficiency. How can this characteristic be taken into consideration when choosing the variety? This question is raised in particular for quality wheat with regard to nitrogen as the limiting building block in protein synthesis.

What are the benefits of precision drilling of cereals?

After the establishment of the single seeding in cultures such as maize and sugar-beet, the focus has now turned to cereals. Here, the emphasis is on a practical solution with high field potential, the “precision drilling” varieties. First findings from practical field trials with wheat and rye make one sit up and take notice.

Wheat variety selection: Varieties in the hardiness test

Deviations from the optimal sowing time and preceding crop are risky but cannot always be avoided. The SAATEN UNION production trials test sowing time tolerance, the suitability for mulch sowing and the performance as a wheat on wheat crop. To find the answers to these questions, there are varying tests during the production trials using different sowing times, preceding crops and soil processing techniques (Fig. 1). Crop protection and crop management are adjusted to the respective conditions and are the same for all the varieties.

Urgently required: Rapid determination of baking characteristics

How will and must wheat quality change in the future? Is buying according to crude protein content and fall rates still up to date? These and other topics were the subject of discussion of the VDM Committee for Raw Materials and Markets, which met in September at SAATEN-UNION in Isernhagen.

Diverse crop rotation: What does it achieve and cost?

Crop rotation diversity is the most important agronomical answer for a wide range of current challenges – reaching from plant protection issues, extreme weather conditions to the amendment of current fertiliser regulations. Thus, are crop rotations with less lucrative plant varieties viable? How does it influence humus content and nutrient balance? Sven Böse evaluated different crop rotations.
