Princess Olga is a variety of soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) intended for cultivation in various climatic zones, including Polissia, forest-steppe, and steppe. It is a medium-early variety, characterized by low stature and resistance to lodging and shattering, which facilitates harvesting and reduces yield losses. The ear is pyramidal, white, and awned, with a 1000-grain weight ranging from 37-43 grams, indicating large kernel size and high grain quality.
One of the key features of this variety is its high frost and drought resistance, making it a reliable choice for regions with variable climatic conditions. Princess Olga exhibits resistance to a range of diseases, including brown and stem rust, powdery mildew, Fusarium ear blight, hard head rust, root rot, and septoria. This significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications and enhances the ecological safety of cultivation.
The variety belongs to the intensive type and responds well to increased agrofactors, enabling high yields with optimal fertilizer application and proper agronomic practices. Yield potential is high — in variety trials, it reached 86.8 centners per hectare. The grain has excellent baking qualities, with protein content ranging from 12.8-13.6%, making it highly sought after in the food industry and for producing high-quality flour.
