Review of the best varieties of winter wheat: choosing the most fertile and resistant

For the practice of growing winter wheat, breeders managed to develop varieties that give a high-quality and bountiful harvest. We have prepared an overview of varieties that have shown the best yields and are actively grown by producers on an industrial scale.

Requirements for the characteristics of wheat for subwinter planting

Despite the high yields in general, it happens that the sub-winter sowing does not germinate or gives an insignificant yield. This is due to the fact that the requirements for growing were not taken into account.

Significant factors:

• frost resistance;
• drought resistance;
• type of soil that is optimal for a particular varieties;
• correct predecessors: sowing wheat is best after harvesting early potatoes, peas or corn.

The best varieties of winter wheat

All winter wheat varieties fall into two categories:

1. Soft grown in areas with high rainfall and humidity. Externally, the plants are stems with thin walls and glassy, ​​mealy grains of white or brown color. It is from these varieties that baked goods are subsequently prepared.
2. Solid grow in dry climates with little rainfall. Such wheat has a thick stem and small, tough grains of yellow or brown color. First-class pasta is made from it.

The most resistant varieties

Responsibly, Ukrainian agronomists approached the determination of the most resistant and productive varieties of winter wheat... Their achievements include the selection of the Kharkovskaya variety (96 and 105). These plants are unpretentious and can withstand severe frosts. Another significant plus is that there is an opportunity to get a high-quality crop even if sowing after harvesting sunflowers (which in itself is an unfortunate combination).

Varieties Vasilina, Harust and Astet are as versatile as Kharkovskaya. They are hardy and disease-resistant. These varieties have shown the best yield results in our country and abroad. They are recommended by experienced and professional agronomists and farmers as they meet all the requirements and give the best results.

New varieties and hybrids

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the characteristics of recently bred varieties and hybrids.

Ascetic

Spindle-shaped ears of medium height and density, white. Ripen in 270 days. The variety has an average winter hardiness, is not prone to lodging, and is resistant to aridity.

It is popular among grain producers due to its disease resistance and high baking value.

It is distinguished by strong and high-quality grains intended for grinding flour and making baked goods.

In addition to frost resistance, Ermak is practically not exposed to infectious diseases typical of cereals.

Important! The cultivar does not require chemicals, the wheat is adapted for late planting and does not linger.

Rostovchanka-7

Valuable wheat does not suffer from winter frosts. Common diseases of cereals do not affect Rostovchanka-7.

Zest

The variety is grown in the North Caucasian region, has immunity to cereal diseases, and is also adapted to the local climate. One of the most productive new varieties - 7.86 t / ha.

Hybrids

Breeders have bred hybrids that are particularly frost-resistant and have a large number of seeds per ear. As a rule, the stems of such plants grew short. All of them turned out to be stronger and more productive than the parent varieties.

The most famous:

• Albidum 114 × Mironovskaya 808;
• Albidum 114 × Waistless 1;
• Awless 1 × Mironovskaya 808;
• Kuibyshevka × Albidum 114.

Tips for choosing

The varieties are chosen taking into account the regional specifics - the future harvest depends on this.

The varieties of winter wheat common in our country and the optimal growing regions:

• Bezenchukskaya 380 - middle zone of Russia, its central regions;
• Nemchinovskaya 57 - Moscow, Tula and the region;
• Mironovskaya 808 - Siberia, Ural;

Conclusion

Compliance with established sowing rules and leaving for growing wheat, it gives a good harvest only if both temporary and regional planting requirements are taken into account. In addition, it is important to experiment and in practice to select the variety that is optimal for growing in a specific area.
