ITIL

ITIL — a variety of soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), characterized by medium maturity and medium height with plant heights ranging from 74 to 96 cm. This variety is distinguished by high productivity and resistance to lodging, which ensures a stable yield. The vegetative period ranges from 214 to 295 days, allowing adaptation to various climatic conditions. The mass of 1000 seeds varies from 39 to 45 grams, indicating good seed material quality.

The ITIL variety possesses high drought and heat tolerance, making it suitable for cultivation in regions with adverse weather conditions. It is recommended for cultivation in various regions of Russia, including the Belgorod and Kursk regions, the Azov and Southern zones of the Rostov region, the Central zone of the Krasnodar Territory, the Stavropol Territory, the Karachay-Cherkessia and Chechen Republics, as well as the Kalmykia Republic. The average yield in the Middle Volga region reaches 39.5 centners per hectare.

The baking qualities of the ITIL variety meet the standard for strong wheat, making it in demand for the milling and baking industry. The variety is resistant to brown and yellow rust, powdery mildew, and possesses moderate resistance to septoria and fusarium of the spike. However, it is susceptible to hard head smut. The optimal seeding rate is 3.5-4 million seeds per hectare, which contributes to achieving maximum yield and grain quality.
