The winter soft wheat variety EMMA was developed by breeders of the PP. Lukyanenko National Grain Center and is designed for producing high-quality grain, particularly valuable for bakery products. This variety is characterized by large grains and ears, with a 1000-grain mass ranging from 44 to 48 grams. EMMA belongs to medium-late varieties with a short stem, ensuring high resistance to lodging and facilitating harvest collection.
The variety has enhanced frost and drought resistance, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic conditions. EMMA shows high resistance to diseases such as brown and yellow rust, powdery mildew, septoria, and leaf spotting. However, the variety is susceptible to head fusarium, which requires attention in agronomic practices. Thanks to good bushiness and high compensatory ability, wheat can recover after damage, for example, caused by mice.
The yield of the EMMA variety has been confirmed at the level of 116.4 centners per hectare when grown after a cereal predecessor. The recommended sowing rate is about 4 million viable seeds per hectare. Thanks to the combination of high productivity, resistance to unfavorable factors, and grain quality, the EMMA variety is a valuable choice for agrarians focused on producing high-quality bakery products.
