ALTAI HARVEST is a variety of soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) characterized by medium maturity with a vegetative period ranging from 307 to 339 days. Plants reach a height of 67 to 103 cm and have a semi-erect bush. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 34 to 47 grams. The variety belongs to the lutescens type and matures simultaneously with the benchmark variety Komsomolskaya 56. It possesses good winter hardiness comparable to benchmark varieties, as well as drought resistance at the level of the Omskaya 4 variety.

ALTAI HARVEST is distinguished by high yield, reaching 40.6 c/ha in the North Caucasus region and 18.7 c/ha in the Lower Volga region. The variety is recommended for cultivation in Krasnodar Krai, the Azov and Southern zones of Rostov Oblast, as well as in the Republic of Kalmykia. Grains of this variety have excellent baking qualities, making it in demand for flour and food product production.

The variety demonstrates moderate resistance to powdery mildew and brown rust, as well as resistance to dusty bunt, yellow and stem rust, and septoria. At the same time, it is susceptible to powdery mildew, snow mold, septoria, and hard bunt, as well as highly susceptible to brown rust. These features require attention when choosing cultivation conditions and implementing protective measures.
