Elan'

Triticale variety 'Elan' is a winter grain crop of the alternative development type (two-stemmed), created by crossing wheat and rye. This variety is distinguished by its high adaptability and combines the best economic and biological properties of its parents: high yield potential of grain and green mass, enhanced adaptive qualities, immunity to fungal diseases, as well as an increased protein and lysine content in the grain. 'Elan' is recommended for cultivation in the Forest-Steppe and Polesie regions and is promising for the biologization of agricultural production. Plants of this variety reach a height of about 100-105 cm, have a spindle-shaped, dense and long ear. The grains are large, oval-elongated, smooth, yellow-white in color, well filled. The weight of 1000 seeds is about 45 g. The variety is mid-season with an autumn sowing and late season with a spring sowing. It is distinguished by its high resistance to lodging (9 points), increased winter hardiness (8.5 points) and high drought resistance (9 points). In addition, the variety has high resistance to brown, yellow and stem rusts, bunt and powdery mildew. The bread-making and feed qualities of the grains of the 'Elan' variety are excellent: protein content ranges from 13.5 to 15%, gluten - about 24-28%, gluten deformation index reaches 50-60 conditional points, and flour strength - 180-230 conditional units. The volume of bread without improvers is approximately 700 ml, which is confirmed by the overall baking quality assessment of 9 points. The potential grain yield reaches 12 t/ha, while the variety demonstrates stable high yields regardless of sowing dates and non-fallow predecessors. The seeding rate is 4.5-5.0 million seeds per hectare.
