CELOBER

WINTER CEREALS / SPELTA WHEAT / OBERKULMER ROTKORN

Triticum spelled L.

Developed by: Delley Samen und Pflanzen AG, Switzerland

An exceptional sought-after variety grown on biodynamic, organic farms throughout Europe, highly valued in Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland

A very tall spelled wheat variety with excellent winter hardiness and good baking properties, especially suitable for organic farms

One of the oldest and best spelled varieties in Europe

Top quality traditional old spelled variety

Excellent grain quality, very high hardness index, protein and gluten content

The number of grain falls (Hagberg), according to Hungarian research, reaches 350-450

The weight of 1000 grains vary between 80-105 g

Tolerance - cold resistance tests showed 61% arctic cold resistance. Cold tolerance - resistance test results reaching 40-50% for wheat indicate the reliability of the variety for growing in our climate zone.

Extremely good adaptation to different habitats, low demand for soil and environmental conditions

High sensitivity to excess nitrogen, due to the high height of the plant reaching 140-150 cm, it has a propensity for lodging, exclusively recommended for organic farms

Bells floating time - average - 4 points (out of 9.0)

Maturation time - average 6 points (out of 9.0)

Plant height - high - 8 points (out of 9.0)

Resistance to recumbency - average - 5 points (out of 9.0)

Winter hardiness - high - 7 points (out of 9.0)

1000 grain weight - high - 7 points (out of 9.0)

Protein content - high - 8 points (out of 9.0)

Gluten content - high - 8 points (out of 9.0)

Disease resistance (1-9 points)

Under different growing conditions than those found in these studies, cultivar parameters may differ from those given here

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Spelled is threshed and sown unhusked, with scales!

Each floret contains two grains

The florets protect the grain from diseases and pests

Early sowing is not recommended in areas with long growth/long growing season in autumn, as spelled produces many shoots in these conditions, which weakens the stem and resistance to fungal diseases.

It is recommended to grow in various types of soils, including intensive farming or fertile fields.

SOWING RATE

Recommended sowing rate for early sowing (mid-September): 180-200 kg of seed, or 200-250 sprouted grains/m².

Recommended sowing rate for late sowing (beginning of October): 200-220 kg of seed, or 250-300 sprouted grains/m².

Sowing depth: 4-5 cm. Germination requires more water than common wheat (Triticum aestivum) seeds to germinate.
