The 'Grafinya' variety of winter soft wheat is a medium-late, semi-dwarf variety with plant height of approximately 80-85 cm, exhibiting resistance to lodging. It was developed through multiple crossings followed by selection of the best samples based on economically valuable traits. The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness and drought tolerance, enabling successful cultivation in various climatic zones, including the Northwest, Central, North Caucasus, and Lower Volga regions, as well as the Steppe, Forest Steppe, and Polesie areas.
'Grafinya' is distinguished by high yield potential, reaching over 100 centners per hectare, with potential up to 120 centners of grain per hectare. It is resistant to major wheat diseases such as brown and yellow rust, powdery mildew, fusarium head blight, septoria, and fusarium, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss and improving grain quality. Its high bread-making quality makes this variety especially valuable for producing bakery products.
For sowing, a recommended rate of 5 million germinating seeds per hectare is advised, with optimal sowing dates corresponding to the specific cultivation zone. Due to its adaptive properties and resistance to adverse factors, the 'Grafinya' variety is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve a stable and high-quality yield of winter soft wheat.
