Wheat Seed Varieties
How is Seed Production Done?
Wheat growers need different seeds to sow in their fields. There are differences in seed varieties, most of which are used in the production of bread and bread products, according to their usage characteristics. Bread wheat, durum wheat, local wheat, TIGEM wheat, and durum wheat seeds are some of these. In our country, protecting local seeds and continuously producing them is among the most important issues for companies. Our country was known as a self-sufficient country in wheat production for many years. However, in recent years, due to problems in production and farmers incurring losses, wheat imports have started to increase significantly.
Advantages of Certified Seeds
There are a few companies that produce seeds in our country. These companies operate at European standards in certified seed production with the most technological devices. The most important goal in these legally monitored studies is to obtain the highest quality seeds and ensure high wheat yield in the fields. Certified wheat seeds obtained through these efforts are the most suitable wheat for farmers. Wheat is a plant that adapts to different soils with its different varieties. Certified seeds provide a 40% increase in grain yield compared to normal seeds. Certified seeds are packaged seeds whose quality is legally proven. The labels on the packaging contain the content and characteristics of the product.
