Wheat Mission Odessa

Winter wheat 'Mission Odessa' is a high-yield variety with an intensive growth type and medium-early maturity. The vegetation period is 283-287 days, ensuring stable crop formation under various climatic conditions. The variety is characterized by average plant height of 95-104 cm and a pyramidal spike length of 9.2-10 cm with a white color and elongated grain shape. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 38 to 44 grams, indicating good quality seed material.

This variety is distinguished by high adaptability and resistance to adverse environmental factors. It possesses high frost and winter hardiness, as well as exceptional drought and heat tolerance, making it optimal for cultivation in steppe and forest-steppe zones. Disease resistance is at a medium level, which additionally contributes to yield stability. Productivity potential reaches 115-120 c/ha (11.5-12.0 t/ha), while the variety demonstrates crop stability even under unfavorable conditions.

Grain quality meets the requirements of strong wheats: crude protein content is 13.8-14.1%, gluten is 28.8-29.5%, and flour strength is in the range of 320-376 arbitrary units. These indicators make Mission Odessa attractive for the production of high-quality flour. To fully realize genetic potential, cultivation on high-yielding agronomic backgrounds with adherence to agronomic requirements is recommended. The sowing rate is 4.5-5.5 million grains per hectare, which ensures optimal plant development and high yield.
