Detailed description:

In the Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine since 2013.
Recommended for the steppe, forest-steppe zone and Polesia.
Authors: S.P. Lyfenko, M.I. Erinyak, V.P. Fedchenko and others.
Economic and biological characteristics:
— The variety belongs to a distinct steppe ecotype;
— Short-stemmed intensive type variety, plant height 93-100 cm;
— The average yield over the years of testing at the institute was 8.13 t/ha, which is 0.48-0.69 t/ha more than the best indicators of standard varieties. The genetic potential of the variety exceeds 10.0 t/ha.
— According to the duration of the growing season, the group belongs to mid-early varieties (280-285 days)(//tractor-service.com)
— Frost resistance higher than average;
— Drought resistance and heat resistance are high;
— Resistance to lying down and shedding is good;
— The variety is resistant to powdery mildew, tolerant to damage by other fungal diseases;

Grain quality:

the variety belongs to the strong varieties of wheat, the "strength" of the flour is 350-420, A., the overall bread rating is 5.0 points.

Approbation signs:

- A variety of erythrospermum, a creeping or slightly protruding bush from autumn.
- The stem is straight, erect or slightly extensive, the spike is spindle-shaped, of medium density (22-24 segments of the rod per 10 cm length), straw-yellow in color.
Spines of medium size and density diverge to the sides.
- Spikelet scales of an ovoid-oval shape, medium in length and width.
- The keel is well defined, reaches the base of the scales, jagged only in the upper part.
- Straight, sharp, thin tooth of medium length.
- The shoulder of the scale is straight in the lower part of the ear, slightly beveled. The grain is oval-ovoid, medium-sized red in color.

Agrotechnical requirements:

- The variety is most suitable for cultivation using intensive technology, but with conventional technology it is not inferior in yield and grain quality to the other best varieties.

- It reacts very well to fertilizingnitrogen fertilizers.

- When applying 90 kg/ha of d.v. the yield increases significantly, and in higher doses the grain quality improves significantly.
