Anniversary

Anniversary is a winter triticale variety intended for grain-forage use. It is characterized by an intermediate maturation period with a vegetation period ranging from 289 to 332 days. Plants reach a height of 70 to 120 cm, possess high resistance to lodging and good winter hardiness, ensuring stable development in the Central Volga region. The weight of 1000 grains varies from 39.0 to 51.4 grams; the grain is of medium size, elongated, and red in color. The variety is distinguished by early flowering and has a semi-upright bush. The ear is white, of medium length and density, fully awned with medium-length awns at the tip. The wax coating on the sheath of the flag leaf is moderately expressed, and the stem neck pubescence is weak or medium. The lower lemma of the ear is glabrous with a tooth of medium length. Grain yield in the region averages 37.6 centners per hectare, exceeding the average standard by 2.4 centners. The variety shows medium resistance to brown rust and high susceptibility to snow mold. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and adaptation to the region's climate conditions, Anniversary is a reliable choice for cultivation in the Central Volga region, providing a stable and high-quality grain yield for forage purposes.
