MATTHIAS

Milling wheat (BQG 5) - beardless wheat

The new bearded wheat was added to the Austrian variety list in 2025 as the highest-yielding variety (APS 9) with the highest nitrogen efficiency (APS 9). In terms of quality, MATTHIAS is identical to the German E-wheat variety Exsal in almost all qualitative characteristics; in Austria, the new variety is currently classified as high-quality milling wheat. Agronomically, this new variety which has a medium maturity stands out for its above-average lodging resistance (APS 3), good resistance to sprouting, excellent rust tolerance, and top-rated Fusarium tolerance (APS 3). Due to its high yields, the protein content is slightly lower, comparable to that of the premium wheat variety Axaro. Good hectoliter weights and excellent falling number stability underscore MATTHIAS’s value for cultivation. Simply try out this legitimate successor to MIDAS on your farm.
