Triticale Makar

MAKAR is a winter triticale variety, a hybrid of wheat and rye, intended for grain-feed use. The plant is characterized by short to medium length, a height of 90 to 125 cm, and a semi-prostrate or prostrate bush. The head is white, of medium length or long, of medium density and fully awned, with short awns at the tip. The grain is elongated, red, of medium size, with a mass of 1000 grains ranging from 40.1 to 50.6 g. The vegetative period of the variety lasts from 241 to 272 days, with medium heading time. The MAKAR variety is distinguished by high winter hardiness, lodging resistance at the level of standards, and high resistance to a range of diseases, including brown and yellow rust, powdery mildew, loose smut, and septoria. Additionally, the variety is moderately resistant to stem rust and fusarium head blight. Waxy bloom on the sheath of the flag leaf is strongly expressed, while stem neck pubescence varies from weak to medium. Average grain yield in the North Caucasus region is 43.5 c/ha (centners per hectare), exceeding the average standard by 2.3 c/ha, and dry matter yield reaches 102.6 c/ha. Triticale MAKAR is well adapted to various soil types and climatic conditions, ensuring stable high yields. Triticale grain is characterized by high protein, mineral, and starch content, making it valuable for feeding agricultural animals and producing compound feeds. Additionally, triticale is used in the food industry for producing pasta and bread, expanding the application possibilities of this variety.
