FAUNUS is an extremely productive bread wheat, with a large area of cultivation. It is characterized by great stability of agronomic properties under different environmental conditions, so it spreads more and more both in the West and in the East-Southeast.
The variety has very good phytosanitary health and is resistant to lodging.
A higher growing density is recommended for maximum yields.
