Variety description

10 August 2026

The Preco variety is a representative of Italian breeding; its name comes from the word 'precoce', which means 'early'. In agronomic studies, this variety is used as a reference for comparing the protein profile and quality indicators of grain of other genotypes.

The grain of the variety is distinguished by its content of yellow carotenoid pigments, which makes it in demand in the production of pasta. In scientific papers, Preco often acts as a 'yellow standard' when studying the properties of various wheat varieties.
