Kharkivska 37

Durum wheat excellence from the Yuriev Institute

The «Kharkivska 37» (h.11) variety represents a cornerstone of Ukrainian breeding, developed by the V. Ya. Yuriev Plant Production Institute of the NAAS. As a spring durum wheat, it has established itself as a reliable choice for farmers aiming for high-quality grain production in the steppe and forest-steppe regions of Ukraine.

Agronomic Profile and Performance

Designed for the pasta industry, this variety excels by balancing a short growing season with strong physiological traits. Key features include:

• Development type: Spring wheat with a vegetation period of 80–90 days, allowing for timely harvesting before late summer heat stress.
• Plant structure: Reaches 85–100 cm in height with high lodging resistance, ensuring operational efficiency during harvest.
• Yield potential: Ranges from 35 to 50 centners per hectare under intensive cultivation practices.
• Grain quality: Features 28–32% gluten content and a 1,000-kernel weight of 40–45 grams, meeting industrial standard requirements.

The awned (bearded) head and overall robustness make this variety a preferred choice for producers who require predictable performance. Its longevity on the market is a testament to its adaptability and the consistent physical and chemical qualities of the harvested grain, which remain highly valued by domestic processors.
