MOROZKO is a variety of soft winter wheat intended for producing high-quality grain and bakery products. It belongs to mid-early and mid-height crops, possessing lodging resistance that ensures harvest stability. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 35 to 44 grams, and the average yield in recommended regions reaches 51.4 centners per hectare. The variety is distinguished by excellent bakery qualities and is optimal for sowing in the North Caucasus and Lower Volga regions, with a sowing rate of about 5 million viable seeds per hectare. MOROZKO has high frost hardiness, which is especially important for winter crops susceptible to spring frosts. Wheat leaves without hardening withstand temperatures down to minus 7-9 °C, and after hardening, up to minus 18 °C, depending on the variety and leaf age. Frost-hardy varieties, to which MOROZKO belongs, are capable of withstanding temperatures down to minus 30 °C in the presence of a snow cover. Frost damage manifests as twisted and scorched leaves, however, with a rise in temperature, plant growth resumes. Such resistance allows the variety to develop successfully even in conditions of late spring frosts. The variety is adapted to various climatic conditions, including steppes, forest-steppes, and forested zones, and demonstrates resistance to drought, diseases, and stress factors. It is resistant to brown rust, moderately susceptible to wheat head fusarium, and susceptible to ergot. The vegetative period is about 285-287 days, which allows using the variety for late sowing dates. Thanks to large ears and grain, MOROZKO is a reliable choice for agrarians seeking to obtain high and quality wheat yield.
