Macarovka

Macarovka — an intensive wheat variety, adapted to different sowing dates and possessing a naked spike type. This medium-early variety with a vegetation period of 285–290 days is characterized by medium height of plants (80–95 cm) and strong compensatory ability, which, combined with high winter hardiness, ensures protection against adverse weather conditions. The variety exhibits high resistance to lodging (9 points), powdery mildew (8 points), brown rust (8 points), root rots (7 points), and fusarium (7 points), making it a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions.

Macarovka possesses good technological characteristics: thousand kernel weight ranges from 42–45 g, protein content varies from 12–14%, and gluten content from 25–28%. High drought and frost resistance (both rated at 8 points) enable the variety to thrive even under adverse weather conditions. Yield potential reaches 100–110 centners per hectare, making this variety attractive for intensive agriculture.

Moreover, Macarovka wheat is widely used in the compound feed industry due to its high protein, B and E vitamin, lysine, and phosphorus content. Grain quality is determined by moisture content, which should not exceed 15%. This variety is distinguished by high yield and competitive pricing, making it beneficial for producers and processors.
