Konsul

CONSUL is a winter triticale variety intended for grain cultivation in forest-steppe and forest-steppe zones. The plants are of medium height (90-140 cm) with a long, fusiform white spike and large red grain weighing 55-60 g per 1000 grains. The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness, drought resistance, and resistance to lodging, ensuring stable crop formation even in complex climatic conditions. The vegetation period ranges from 248 to 320 days, allowing the crop to be adapted to various sowing dates and previous crops.

CONSUL exhibits high resistance to major diseases, including root rot, powdery mildew, brown rust, septoria, and loose smut, which significantly reduces crop losses and improves grain quality. However, the variety is prone to slight infection by flying smut. Thanks to vigorous tillering, a dense stem base is formed, which contributes to high yield and plant resilience. The yield potential exceeds 10 t/ha, while the average yield in various regions reaches 44-63 c/ha.

The grain of the CONSUL variety is distinguished by its high gluten content of Group I, which ensures excellent bread-making qualities of the flour. The gluten content in the flour is about 21.3%, and the bread volume reaches 456 ml, confirming the high quality assessment of the product. Triticale flour improves the rheological properties of wheat flour, making the variety in demand in the food industry. It is recommended to sow CONSUL from August 25 to September 15 at a sowing rate of 2.5-4.5 million viable seeds per hectare, depending on conditions and previous crops.
