Bilozerkivska Spelt Wheat is a winter spelt wheat variety created by pedigree breeding based on the Chernobyl radiation mutant 756/89. This variety is characterized by a glumeless, pyramid-shaped spike that is dense and long. The plant is tall, with heights in the Steppe zone ranging from 102 to 127 cm, in the Forest Steppe — from 109 to 116 cm, and in the Polissia — from 125 to 132 cm. The flowering period is late, and the wax coating on the spikes, leaves, and internodes is practically absent. The awns on the glumes are short, which is a distinctive feature of the variety. This wheat variety is characterized by high resistance to leaf diseases, especially powdery mildew, brown rust, and other diseases, as well as high frost and drought resistance. During threshing, the spike breaks into spikelets, and the grain is extracted from the spike at 80%, facilitating harvest. The protein content in the grain is 14.3–14.8%, and the gluten content is 29.1–30.2%, ensuring high-quality flour. Bilozerkivska Spelt Wheat is widely used in the food industry for bread baking, pasta production, and dietary nutrition. The bread volume from 100 g of flour reaches 960 ml, indicating the high quality and value of this variety. The producer of this variety is the State Concern "Peremoga," which guarantees the reliability and stability of the crop's characteristics.
