Wheat Danaya

The spring hard wheat variety Danaya is characterized by high yield and resistance to drought, lodging, and major diseases. This dwarf plant is 75-85 cm tall with a pyramidal short ear 6.0-7.5 cm long and a density of 25 spikelets per 10 cm. The grain is distinguished by high natural weight — 800 g/l, test weight of 98 %, protein content of 15.6 % and gluten content of 31-36 %, which ensures good baking qualities. The variety is resistant to adverse factors and recommended for cultivation in forest-steppe and forest-edge regions. Danaya belongs to the semi-intensive cultivation type and responds well to the application of mineral and micro-fertilizers. Early sowing is recommended with a rate of 6 million seeds per hectare; in this case, the seed burial depth is 3-5 cm, and 4-6 cm in arid conditions, followed by rolling. The variety demonstrates high yield — up to 50.1 centners/hectare according to recent data, which significantly exceeds regional averages. Danaya wheat is distinguished by high winter hardiness and drought resistance, making it suitable for various climatic conditions. The vegetation period is about 286-329 days, and the weight of 1000 grains varies from 41 to 48 g. These characteristics ensure stable and quality grain production, which is in demand in the baking industry.
