The Moscow 35 wheat is a soft spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) of medium-late maturity type with a vegetation period ranging from 86 to 105 days. The plant is of medium height, featuring white heads and awn-like appendages. This variety is distinguished by its high yield, reaching 50-60 centners per hectare on well-cultivated soils, and by its stability. The mass of 1,000 grains varies from 36 to 45 grams, indicating a large grain size. Moscow 35 possesses excellent baking qualities, making it in demand in agriculture and the food industry.
The variety is characterized by high plasticity and adaptability to various climatic conditions, allowing for successful cultivation in different regions. It is resistant to shedding and germination of grains on the root, as well as to lodging and drought. Pests and diseases affect the crop to a minor degree: the variety is weakly susceptible to rust, powdery and solid bunt, powdery mildew, while the grain aphid causes average damage. Thanks to these qualities, Moscow 35 is widely used as an insurance crop for under-seeding and re-seeding of winter wheat.
The optimal sowing rate is from 4.0 to 6 million viable seeds per hectare, with sowing recommended to be carried out early in spring. The variety withstands frosts and heat well, ensuring a stable yield even under unfavorable weather conditions. Moscow 35 meets quality standards and has been used in agriculture since 1975, confirming its reliability and efficiency in grain production.
