Winter wheat variety Durofinus is an extremely early-maturing, erect type, recommended for cultivation in the Forest Steppe and Steppe zones. Plants are characterized by low stature, ranging from 59.2 to 64.3 cm in height, with a vegetation period of 84-87 days. The variety is distinguished by early grain filling and high yield, varying from 20.9 to 30.5 centners per hectare.
Durofinus has a high protein content in grain — from 14 to 15.1%, as well as a significant level of yellow pigment and gluten, making it especially valuable for food use. The variety demonstrates resistance to a broad spectrum of diseases and pests, including powdery mildew, rust, Fusarium ear blight, root rot, cereal bug, and Swedish flies. Additionally, it exhibits high drought tolerance (8 points) and resistance to lodging, contributing to a stable and high-quality yield.
For seed storage, it is recommended to maintain temperature within +7-10°C and humidity no higher than 10%. Seed packaging can reach up to 1000 kg, which is convenient for large-scale agricultural production. Thanks to its characteristics and adaptation to the climatic conditions of the Forest Steppe and Steppe, the Durofinus variety is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality grain with good technological properties.
