Winter wheat variety Verkhnyachskaya 32 is widely cultivated in the USSR and several other countries. This variety is distinguished by high cold resistance and frost tolerance, allowing successful cultivation in various climatic zones, including the Non-Chernozem zone, Central Chernozem region, as well as territories of Ukraine and Belarus. Due to these qualities, Verkhnyachskaya 32 is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain a stable harvest under challenging climatic conditions.
Variety Verkhnyachskaya 32 is valued for its high yield and good agronomic characteristics. Wheat of this variety is used to produce grain, which is processed into flour, starch, alcohol, and concentrated feed, making it an important cereal crop with wide application in food and industrial sectors. High productivity and versatility make this variety popular among agricultural producers.
Studies conducted on various inbred lines of wheat showed a reduction in plant height, although some lines reached inbred minimums, indicating genetic stability of the variety. Additionally, high self-fertility rates (69.3–93.0%) were observed in several cultivars, including Verkhnyachskaya 32, indicating the presence of self-fertility genes in its genotype. This trait contributes to the creation of highly self-fertile hybrid combinations, enhancing breeding efficiency and improving cultivar characteristics.
