Wheat Balagura

Wheat variety Balagura belongs to intensive cultivation type and is characterized by high productive tillering. This variety is a type of lutescence and has a spike type, which ensures high yield due to high spike density and thousand-grain weight. Mid-early variety with a vegetation period of 285-290 days, allowing to obtain a stable yield at optimal time.

The potential grain yield of Balagura variety is 90-100 c/ha, while in state and production trials, the yield varied from 70 to 100 c/ha. Thousand-grain weight ranges from 42-45 grams, protein content is 13.4-14.0%, and gluten content is 28.7-29.7%. High resistance ratings to lodging (9 points), shattering (7 points), powdery mildew (8 points), root rots (7 points), and brown rust (8 points) make this variety a reliable choice for cultivation.
