ALTAISKAYA 4 is a winter triticale variety intended for grain use, as well as for feed, food, and technical purposes. The plants are of medium height, with a length of 120 to 156 cm, and feature a dense, medium-length spike with awn-tipped ends. The grain is red in color, oval-elongated, of medium size, with a 1000-grain weight ranging from 34.8 to 42.2 g. The vegetation period ranges from 321 to 342 days, corresponding to a medium-maturing type with a maturation period of about 325-335 days. The variety is distinguished by good winter hardiness and lodging resistance, making it a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions. It demonstrates resistance to root rots, brown rust, and septoria, although it is susceptible to snow mold. No significant disease development was observed during the testing period, confirming its stability and reliability in terms of agronomy. Yield varies depending on the region and growing conditions: average yield is about 19.4 c/ha in the West Siberian region, reaching 48.4 c/ha and a maximum of 78.1 c/ha in other regions. The grain is characterized by high protein content (13.8% to 17%), gluten content (23.8% to 37%), and vitreousness up to 62%, ensuring good milling and grain quality. Starch content reaches 66.7%. The variety is recommended for cultivation in the West Siberian, East Siberian, and North Caucasian regions, confirming its adaptability and versatility.
