It is a medium-maturing variety with high winter hardiness and good yield, making it attractive for agricultural production in this region. The wheat has satisfactory baking qualities, allowing its grain to be used for producing quality flour and bakery products. The variety's resistance to diseases is at a medium level, requiring adherence to agronomic practices to maintain crop health.

The wheat variety "Irina" features large, oval-shaped grains with a groove, indicating high seed quality. High germination rate and vigor ensure good plant development after sowing. The seeding rate is 160 to 220 kg per hectare, promoting optimal plant density and maximum yield. The variety exhibits resistance to lodging, drought, and shattering, enhancing yield stability under various climatic conditions.

To improve soil condition and increase its fertility, winter wheat "Irina" can be used as part of mixed cover crops with other crops.
