Novokiyivska

Novokiyivska wheat is a medium-early winter wheat variety of intensive type, intended for late sowing. It is characterized by high yield and versatility, allowing cultivation on various soils and with different preceding crops, including less favorable ones such as maize and sunflower. The variety is recommended for cultivation in the Polissia, forest-steppe, and steppe regions, indicating its adaptability to different climatic conditions. Due to its low maintenance requirements and resistance to stress factors, Novokiyivska is an excellent choice for intensive farming technologies using optimal doses of mineral fertilizers. Novokiyivska exhibits high winter hardiness and resistance to a broad spectrum of diseases, including root rot, septoria, fusarium, brown rust, and powdery mildew, with resistance ratings ranging from 7 to 9 points. Additionally, the variety demonstrates high resistance to lodging and grain shattering, which is particularly important in intensive cultivation and high levels of mineral nutrition. To prevent lodging under high mineral fertilizer levels, retardants are recommended. These characteristics make the variety reliable and stable under various agronomic conditions. The grain of the Novokiyivska variety has high protein content — from 13.9% to 16.2%, and the thousand-grain weight is 40.0–42.0 grams, indicating high product quality. The recommended seeding rate is 4.5–5.5 million germinating seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal plant density and maximum productivity. Due to the combination of high yield, disease and stress resistance, and high-quality grain characteristics, the Novokiyivska variety is a profitable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality harvest at late sowing dates.
