Triticale Zhnets

The winter triticale variety "Zhnets" is a high-yielding crop with red grain, intended for use in feed, food, and technical applications. The medium-height plant with an intermediate bush type and long white ear exhibits resistance to lodging and shattering, ensuring crop preservation. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 42.7 to 47 grams, while the protein content in the grain reaches 16.9%, making the variety a valuable protein source and improving the quality of the final product. Additionally, the grain contains a significant amount of starch and gluten, expanding its application possibilities. The "Zhnets" variety is adapted to various soil conditions and sowing times, demonstrating high productive tillering and resistance to major ear diseases, including brown and stem rust, powdery and solid bunt, and powdery mildew. Thanks to its winter hardiness, the variety can withstand harsh winter conditions, minimizing crop losses. It is suitable for intensive cultivation technologies with the possibility of minimal or moderate fertilizer application, making it economically beneficial for agricultural producers. The average yield of the variety in various regions is about 47-48 centners per hectare, with maximum indicators reaching up to 78 centners per hectare. The high protein and amylopectin content in the grain increases its nutritional value and quality for food and feed needs. Thus, "Zhnets" is a universal and reliable triticale variety, combining high productivity, disease and adverse condition resistance, as well as excellent grain technological characteristics.
