Triticale ALTAISKAYA 5

The hexaploid winter triticale variety ALTAISKAYA 5 is a grain-oriented crop designed for cultivation in various regions, including Western Siberia, the Middle Volga, and Lower Volga. The plants are of medium height, ranging from 70 to 139 cm, with semi-erect culms and a medium-length white, fully awned head. The grain is elongated, red in color, medium-sized, with a 1000-grain weight varying from 32.6 to 51.4 g, indicating good density and crop quality.

The variety's vegetative period ranges from 289 to 346 days, classifying it as a medium-maturity crop. It exhibits high resistance to stem rust and medium to above-average lodging resistance, ensuring stable yields. Winter hardiness is at standard levels or good, allowing successful cultivation in various climatic conditions. Additionally, the variety is weakly affected by powdery mildew, loose and dusty bunt, root rots, and snow mold, reducing the need for intensive plant protection.

Average grain yield in approved regions ranges from 32.6 to 37.6 c/ha, with maximum figures reaching 70.2 c/ha, recorded in the Tyumen region. Heading is later in this variety, and pubescence of the stem neck and the surface of the lower glume have characteristic features aiding adaptation to local conditions. The absence or weak waxy coating on the flag leaf sheath and other morphological features make the ALTAISKAYA 5 variety attractive for agrarians seeking high-quality and stable triticale yields.
