PRESTO

Winter triticale

“Old but proven, and still extremely popular”—this statement pretty much sums up what is likely Europe’s oldest triticale variety. For over three decades, PRESTO has impressed with its excellent winter hardiness (APS 2), extremely early heading (APS 3), and very early maturity (APS 3). In addition, PRESTO continues to show stable tolerance to brown rust infections (APS 4) and excels with above-average grain formation. This makes PRESTO the preferred choice in many locations in the Waldviertel and Mühlviertel regions, as well as in extensive farming areas in the arid zone, Carinthia, and Styria. In the organic segment, the high-quality triticale variety PRESTO is a mainstay thanks to its consistently high yields over many years in nearly all growing locations.
