Wilma — medium-early spring barley variety, distinguished by high and stable yield. Plants are medium-height, 50–65 cm tall, with potential yields up to 80 c/ha (7–8 t/ha). Grain is large, two-rowed, and glumeless, with 1000-grain weight ranging from 45–55 g, and protein content varying from 11.5% to 17%, ensuring high product quality. Vegetative period lasts approximately 85–90 days, allowing the variety to be used in various climatic conditions, including arid regions. Wilma exhibits high resistance to lodging, which helps preserve yield and facilitates harvesting. It also demonstrates good resistance to a range of diseases, including leaf rust, yellow rust, angular leaf spot, rhiophytophthoriosis, ramulariosis, powdery mildew, and helminthosporiosis. Disease resistance level is rated 7–9, making this variety a reliable choice for farmers aiming to minimize losses from pathogens. Wilma is widely used in both food and feed industries due to its high grain quality and stable yield. Recommended seeding rate is 3.2–3.6 million seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal plant density and maximum productivity. The variety adapts well to various soil-climate conditions, making it versatile and in-demand in the agricultural sector.
