Bezenchukskaya 200 is a variety of hard spring wheat (Triticum durum Desf.), developed at the Samara Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture (Samara NIISKh) and patented in the Russian Federation. This medium-maturity variety has a vegetative period of 73 to 86 days and matures simultaneously with standard varieties or 2-4 days earlier. The plant has a semi-erect bush, medium-length straw with a strong waxy coating, which contributes to resilience against unfavorable weather conditions. The ear is pyramidal, loose or medium density, with brown awns that are longer than the ear. The grain is elongated with a short awn; the weight of 1000 grains is 38-42 grams.
The variety is distinguished by high resistance to powdery bunt and moderate resistance to brown rust, although it is susceptible to septoria. It responds well to precipitation in the second half of summer, which positively affects yield and grain quality indicators. The average yield in the region is about 24.3 centners per hectare. Bezenchukskaya 200 is characterized by high protein and gluten content, as well as elevated levels of carotenoids, making the grain particularly valuable for the food industry.
It is recommended for cultivation on fertile soils with the application of intensive and moderate agrotechnical practices. Moderate resistance to lodging and drought allows the variety to be used in various climatic conditions. Due to its qualities and adaptability, Bezenchukskaya 200 is a reliable choice for agricultural producers seeking to obtain a high-quality yield of hard spring wheat.
