HAMDAN

Hamdan is a variety of soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), belonging to the mid-ripening group. It is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including the North Caucasus and Lower Volga regions, and has been successfully adapted to the soils and climatic conditions of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic and the Central zone of the Kalmykia Republic. The variety is characterized by its resistance to lodging, drought, brown rust, and powdery mildew, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in complex natural conditions. Milling qualities of the grain are assessed as good and excellent, which confirms its value for the production of high-quality flour and bakery products.

In various trials, the Hamdan variety demonstrated high productivity. In the North Caucasus region, the average yield is about 51.8 centners per hectare, and in the Lower Volga region, about 28.9 centners. Maximum yield figures reached 89.2 centners per hectare. In particular, on an experimental plot in the Remontny District, the variety showed a yield of 43.7 centners per hectare, indicating its high adaptability and ability to form stable yields even in semi-desert conditions.

Studies conducted in 2019–2021 in the northern part of the Astrakhan region confirmed the high adaptability and stress resistance of the Hamdan variety. It showed good adaptability coefficients and genetic flexibility, allowing it to successfully withstand arid conditions and climate variability. The vegetative period of the variety is about 259–263 days, which corresponds to early-ripening varieties. Thanks to these qualities, Hamdan is a promising choice for agrarians seeking to obtain high and stable yields in complex soil and climatic conditions.
