Aliy Parus

Premium performance for durum wheat production

The winter durum wheat variety "Aliy Parus," developed by the Plant Breeding and Genetics Institute (Odesa), is designed for farms targeting high-end flour markets. Unlike soft wheat varieties, this crop offers the specific quality parameters required for pasta production, provided that agronomic practices are strictly followed.

Field reliability and disease resistance

Choosing "Aliy Parus" is a proactive step against common field pathogens. The variety features genetic resistance to several yield-limiting diseases, which significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications. Key benefits include:

• High resistance to brown and stem rust;
• Effective tolerance to septoria leaf blotch and smut;
• Structural stability due to a plant height of 90–100 cm, preventing lodging.

Operational efficiency and yield potential

With a vegetation period of 270–280 days, "Aliy Parus" fits perfectly into standard winter cropping cycles. The variety achieves a potential yield of 7–8 tons per hectare when managed at a density of 4.5–5.0 million productive stems per hectare. With a thousand-grain weight of 40–45 grams, the crop ensures a high-quality, uniform output that meets the standards of grain processors. By incorporating this variety into their rotation, growers can capitalize on the higher market premium typically associated with durum wheat compared to common feed varieties.
