Soft winter wheat of the BASIS variety is a medium-early and medium-height variety of Triticum aestivum L., possessing lodging resistance and enhanced winter hardiness. The vegetative period ranges from 297 to 328 days, allowing for effective cultivation in the Middle-Volga region, including Samara Oblast, the Republic of Tatarstan, and Ulyanovsk Oblast. Drought resistance is at the level of standards, with a 1000-kernel mass varying from 38 to 46 grams, contributing to high yields reaching 43.0 centners per hectare. However, the variety is susceptible to brown rust, requiring attention during agronomic activities.
BASIS wheat is characterized by high technological indicators, making it in demand for flour, bread, and other food production. Grain moisture is 14%, weed impurity is 2%, and grain impurity does not exceed 8%. Protein content in the grain is at least 12.5%, natural weight is 740 g/l, and gluten content is at least 23%, ensuring good flour quality and bread-making properties. Water absorption and dough falling number are within normal limits, confirming the product's compliance with high quality standards.
The BASIS variety was specifically developed for Russian climate conditions and intended for use in agriculture as agronomic seed material. It ensures stable high yields and grain quality, making it an attractive choice for farmers and agrarians focused on efficient grain product production.
