Odessky Fakir

Technical Profile of Winter Wheat «Fakir odeskyi»

This variety is a hard winter wheat (Triticum durum) developed by the Plant Breeding and Genetics Institute (PBGI), Ukraine. The engineering and biological value of this variety lies in its combination of high adaptability to the agro-climatic conditions of the steppe and forest-steppe zones, alongside grain quality indicators that meet the requirements of elite pasta production.

Genetic and Agrotechnical Solutions

• Gluten Complex Balance: A key technical characteristic is a gluten content exceeding 30%. This provides the dough elasticity required for high-quality pasta production, which is a critical parameter for hard wheat varieties.
• Immune Protection: The breeders have integrated comprehensive resistance to major pathogens. The variety’s genetic architecture inhibits the development of common bunt (hard smut), leaf rust, and powdery mildew, allowing agricultural enterprises to reduce the pesticide load on their fields.
• Growth Habit: The winter type ensures an optimal start for vegetation in the autumn period and efficient utilization of winter soil moisture reserves.

The practical use of the «Fakir odeskyi» variety is justified for producers aiming for a stable yield of durum wheat with high vitreousness indices. Genetic resistance to fungal infections minimizes the risk of quality loss even under challenging environmental conditions. Agrotechnical recommendations suggest focusing on optimal sowing dates, which allows the variety to fully realize its yield potential throughout the growing season.
