Wheat variety Felix is an ultrapreearly winter wheat variety characterized by high-quality grain and adapted for cultivation in various climatic zones, including steppes, forest-steppes, and glades. This variety allows for maximum utilization of spring moisture before the onset of drought conditions, which is especially important for regions with limited water supply. Plant height is 62-65 cm, spike length varies from 7 to 9 cm, and each spike contains 14 to 18 spikelets. The variety exhibits high winter hardiness, drought resistance, disease and lodging resistance, as well as good seed germination resistance. Grain quality of variety Felix is characterized by high protein content — 13 to 15%, and gluten content around 29.6%, which ensures high flour strength (approximately 330 a.u.) and makes this variety particularly suitable for bakery production. Yield potential reaches 11-12 tons per hectare, equivalent to 54.8-62.5 centners per hectare, confirming the economic efficiency of cultivating this variety. High thousand-grain weight contributes to good germination and plant development. Sowing dates for variety Felix are recommended early or optimal for the cultivation zone, with a seeding rate of approximately 4.2 million seeds per hectare. Vegetative period ranges from 259 to 272 days, corresponding to an ultrapreearly maturity date. The variety has been registered in the state register since 2018 and is available in packaging sizes of 50, 500, and 1000 kg. Due to its characteristics and resistance, Felix is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality wheat yields under various agroclimatic conditions.
