Durum wheat

Durum wheat differs from common wheat, the grain of durum wheat is much harder than the other wheat varieties. The acreage of durum wheat is steadily increasing due to changes in dietary habits and the increasing prevalence of food intolerances. Because of the durum wheat’s genetics, this species is more sensitive to winter frosts, but Axereal Slovakia offers its partners only varieties with very good winter hardiness thanks to many years of breeding. The cultivation of durum wheat is similar to common wheat (sowing time, weed control) but disease control requires more attention.
