Charovnitsa Bilotserkivska

Stability and Quality: The Signature of "Charodiyka"

Winter wheat "Charodiyka bilotserkivska" from the breeders at the O.K. Kolomiiets Bila Tserkva Experimental Station is the choice of agronomists who prioritize predictable results. In the unstable climate of Ukraine, where extreme temperature fluctuations have become the norm, this variety demonstrates exceptional winter hardiness (9 points), making it a reliable asset for farms in the forest-steppe zone.

Agronomic Advantages

The key feature of the variety is the combination of high yield potential (8–9 t/ha) with operational efficiency. The wheat is awnless, which simplifies harvesting, and its height of 100–110 cm, combined with excellent lodging resistance, allows the crop to effectively utilize the resources of intensive farming technologies. It is important to note that when sowing rates are strictly followed (4.5–5.0 million productive stems per hectare), the crops show uniformity, which is critical for grain quality.

Grain Quality and Phytosanitary Protection

This soft wheat variety is aimed at producing high-quality commercial grain. The gluten content consistently exceeds 30%, allowing for the sale of the harvest at premium prices. Genetic resistance to a complex of diseases is a strong argument for reducing pesticide application. "Charodiyka" effectively resists:

• Mycosphaerella leaf spot;
• Rust (including brown rust);
• Powdery mildew;
• Septoria.

Who is this variety for? For farmers who are not willing to risk their crops due to harsh winters and are looking for a crop with a high yield ceiling and quality grain that meets the standards of processing plants.
