ECOBREED partner Selgen registered a new organic winter wheat variety, ST1518-19, under the name Virginia in January 2026. This semi-late to late variety combines elite baking quality (category E) with medium to high yields under organic conditions and moderate resistance to key diseases, including fusarium head blight, offering a competitive advantage for organic farmers. Its agronomic profile – tall plants, strong lodging resistance, and robust grain quality parameters – positions Virginia as a promising addition to the organic wheat sector. This achievement represents a significant step forward for organic wheat breeding and sustainable agriculture.
