Wheat variety Dobrochin is a high-yielding medium-height variety with plant height of 95-100 cm and vegetation period of 274-282 days, which is 1.5-2 days longer compared to the well-known variety Kuyalnik. This variety was created by intraspecific hybridization and has high genetic yield potential, reaching over 10.0 t/ha, with an average yield of 7.32 t/ha, exceeding standard varieties by 0.33-0.48 t/ha. The grain is medium-sized, red in color with a characteristic dent and fine groove, which meets the requirements for cultivation in steppe conditions.
Dobrochin exhibits high resistance to various adverse factors: it is resistant to lodging, shattering, germination of grain in ears, and possesses above-average frost and winter hardiness. The variety demonstrates high drought and heat tolerance, making it a reliable choice for regions with variable climatic conditions. Moreover, the variety shows group resistance to diseases, including brown rust (7-8 points), stem rust (4-5 points), powdery mildew (6-7 points), hard rust (7-8 points), and pyrenophorosis (5 points).
The quality of Dobrochin wheat grain belongs to the group of high-quality wheat varieties. Flour from this grain is characterized by high 'strength' (390-475 arbitrary units), protein content of 13.3-14.2%, and gluten content of 26.7%. The overall bread score produced from this flour is 5.1 points, indicating high product quality. The variety responds well to mineral nutrition and nitrogen fertilizers, enabling efficient use in intensive agronomic practices for achieving high yields and quality grain.
