HARNE is a high-yielding winter triticale variety of Ukrainian selection, intended for cultivation in the forest-steppe, forest, and steppe zones. The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness (8.0–8.5 points), resistance to lodging, drought, and leaf-stem diseases, as well as stable dough quality, which ensures good baking properties. The potential grain yield of the variety exceeds 10 tons per hectare, and the green mass yield reaches 60 tons per hectare. On average, over a long period of trials, the grain yield after black fallow was about 6.44 t/ha, which is significantly higher than standard indicators. HARNE belongs to the lutescens variety, has a medium-late maturity period and forms a dense stem mass due to vigorous tillering. Plants reach a height of 90 to 140 cm, the ear is white, spindle-shaped, 9–12 cm long, with short barbed awns. The grain is large, red, elongated, and the mass of 1000 grains is 55–60 g. The variety has high immunity to ergot, however, it may be susceptible to loose ergot to a minor extent. The grain contains about 13.8% protein and 67% starch, which contributes to a high alcohol yield from the meal – up to 458 liters per ton. HARNE is recommended for sowing on fallow land, perennial grasses and silage corn. Optimal sowing periods are from August 25 to September 15, the sowing rate is from 2.5 to 4.5 million viable seeds per hectare depending on sowing dates and predecessors. Flour from the triticale variety HARNE has good mixability and improves the rheological properties of wheat IV–VI classes, making it valuable for the baking industry. Thanks to its agronomic and economic characteristics, the variety is a reliable choice for farmers seeking to obtain a stable and high-quality crop.
