Harróza — this is an autumn-sown triticale variety developed by the Institute of Plant Physiology named after V.Ya. Yur'ev of NAAN and registered in 2012. This variety belongs to the medium-maturing group with a vegetation period of 275–286 days and medium height (100–120 cm). Harróza has enhanced winter hardiness, drought resistance, and lodging resistance, making it suitable for cultivation in the Forest-Steppe and Polissia regions. The potential grain yield of this variety reaches 10.0 t/ha, indicating its high productive potential.
Triticale is a man-made cereal and forage crop that is a hybrid of wheat and barley. It combines the best agronomic and biological properties of both parent forms, particularly high protein (14.2%) and starch (68%) content in grain, as well as increased lysine and essential nutrient content in green mass. Due to these characteristics, Harróza has high grain quality and forage value, making it a valuable crop for agricultural biologization.
For cultivation, recommended preceding crops include occupied fallow lands, peas, perennial grasses, and maize for silage. Soil preparation technology, sowing dates, and seeding rates are similar to those applied for winter soft wheat. The yield of spirit from 1 ton of distillers' grains is 465 liters, indicating the variety’s potential for industrial use.
