LAUREAT is a variety of soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), characterized by a medium-early maturity period and medium plant height. Plants reach a height of 72 to 98 cm, featuring a cylindrical white ear of medium length. The mass of 1000 grains ranges from 36 to 45 g. The variety is distinguished by its resistance to lodging, which helps preserve the yield and facilitates harvesting. LAUREAT possesses good winter hardiness and is adapted to various climatic conditions, making it suitable for cultivation in the North Caucasian and Lower Volga regions. The yield of the LAUREAT variety in these regions averages 42.1 c/ha. It is resistant to Septoria, but susceptible to Fusarium of the ear, which requires attention to plant protection. Milling qualities of the grain are good, allowing the use of wheat for producing high-quality flour and bakery products. The optimal sowing period and recommended seeding rate are 3.5-4.0 million viable seeds per hectare, ensuring stable yield formation. The LAUREAT variety is widely used in the food industry for making flour, wheat groats, and other products. Its stable yield and adaptability to various growing conditions make it a profitable choice for agricultural enterprises focused on producing quality grain and wheat processing products.
