Ladizhinka

Wheat Ladizhinka is a medium-maturing winter variety of high-yielding type, primarily intended for use in livestock as fodder. This variety is characterized by medium height and a vegetation period of 282 to 300 days. Ladizhinka is distinguished by high resistance to lodging, as well as to diseases such as powdery mildew and brown leaf rust. Additionally, the variety exhibits high winter hardiness and drought resistance, ensuring stable yields under various climatic conditions. The wheat of Ladizhinka has high baking and milling qualities, containing 13.5–14.2% protein and 27.5–29.9% crude gluten. However, due to its high starch and gluten content, improper use of the feed may cause colic in animals. The grain also contains B and E vitamins, lysine, and phosphorus, making it a valuable component of compound feed. The recommended seeding rate is 5.0–6.0 million germinating seeds per hectare, and the variety responds well to mineral fertilization, promoting high yields. The cultivation technology for Ladizhinka wheat is standard, facilitating its adoption in agricultural systems. Due to its qualities and high yield, this variety is widely used in the feed industry. Although the grain is not intended for human food consumption, it is a high-quality plant-based animal feed, confirmed by steady demand and appropriate purchase prices.
