This medium-early variety has a vegetative period of 78-85 days and matures 3-4 days earlier than the Ulyanovskaya 105 variety. The plants are of medium height, resistant to lodging, which ensures yield stability. The weight of 1000 grains is 32-38 g, and the grain is characterized by a natural mass of 791-820 g/l and high vitreousness of 80-92 %.

The variety is distinguished by high resistance to adverse factors: field drought resistance, low susceptibility to powdery bunt, powdery mildew, and septoria. The content of crude protein in the grain is 13.9-14.6 %, gluten — 29-37 %, which provides good baking qualities. Bread quality is rated 4.4-4.6 points, which allows ORENBURGSKAYA 32 to be classified as a group of valuable wheats in demand by the baking industry.

The variety is recommended for cultivation in the Orenburg region and the Republic of Bashkortostan, where the average yield reaches 23.3 c/ha. Introduction of the variety into the agricultural production of the region contributes to increasing the availability of high-quality raw materials, reducing the cost of grain by 14.7 % and increasing profitability by 35 %.
