Wheat KRASNOZERKA

Technical profile of spring soft wheat «Krasnozyorka»

«Krasnozyorka» is the result of breeding work by a team led by L.A. Mukhitov. This variety is designed to produce stable yields under conditions of severe moisture limitation and short growing seasons, which is critical for high-risk agricultural zones.

Morphology and vegetation dynamics

The variety is characterized by a rapid development cycle: the growing season is 80–92 days. This allows the plant to avoid the most aggressive mid-summer droughts. With an average stalk height of 70–90 cm, the crop exhibits high resistance to lodging, which technically simplifies direct combine harvesting without significant grain loss.

Grain quality indicators

• Plumpness: The weight of 1,000 seeds varies in the range of 32–40 grams.
• Biochemical potential: Gluten content is 28–34%, placing «Krasnozyorka» in the category of high-protein wheat demanded by the milling industry.
• Spike construction: The awnless spike type facilitates threshing and minimizes grain damage in the combine's threshing and separating mechanism.

Agronomic efficiency

The potential yield of the variety is set at 35–50 centners per hectare. The key value of «Krasnozyorka» lies in the combination of early maturity and the ability to regenerate intensively given favorable moisture. Breeders focused on the morphological strength of the stalk, allowing for efficient redistribution of plastic substances into the spike while minimizing vegetative mass development at the expense of generative growth.
