Wheat Alatus

Wheat variety Alatus is a medium-maturing two-row variety that forms a stable yield with good grain filling. Due to its high growth energy, this variety allows for earlier emergence in autumn compared to winter wheat, which contributes to successful plant development in the early stage. Alatus is recommended for cultivation in optimal and drought-prone areas, making it a versatile choice for various climatic conditions.

The variety exhibits high winter hardiness, exceeding the average level, as well as high drought tolerance, ensuring resilience to adverse weather conditions. Alatus is resistant to powdery mildew and Fusarium head blight, but less resistant to yellow rust and leaf septoria. These characteristics make it a reliable option for farmers aiming to minimize yield losses due to diseases and stress factors.

Quality indicators of Alatus grain include protein content at 13.01% and crude gluten at 25%. The 1000-grain weight is 48 grams, and the test weight is 798 g/L, indicating high quality and market attractiveness. The falling number is 377, indicating good physical grain strength. In case of frost damage, the variety can be used for reseeding winter wheat, expanding its application potential in agronomy.
