Wheat Remeslivna

Engineering the Yield: Genetic Potential of the 'Remeslivna' Variety

Developed by the Mironivka Institute of Wheat named after V.M. Remeslo, the 'Remeslivna' soft winter wheat variety is designed for intensive farming technologies. This variety balances vegetative biomass with ear productivity, ensuring a high return on inputs.

Morphological and Biological Features

The semi-dwarf stature (60–70 cm) is a key structural design feature ensuring resistance to lodging. A shortened straw reduces wind leverage and prevents excessive biomass accumulation in the upper canopy, which is essential when applying high-rate nitrogen fertilizers. Combined with a robust root system, these features minimize harvest losses even under adverse weather conditions.

Phytopathological Defense

The genetic profile includes enhanced resistance to brown rust and powdery mildew. This specific selection allows agronomists to reduce the number of fungicide applications, directly lowering the cost of production. The plant effectively resists pathogens even in seasons with high infection pressure.

Production Metrics

• Winter Hardiness: 8–9 points, ensuring consistent crop development after the winter period.
• Grain Quality: Gluten content ranges from 25–30% or higher, classifying the wheat as high-quality for baking purposes.
• Yield Potential: When following professional technological practices, the variety yields between 7 and 10 tonnes per hectare.

With a vegetative period of 90–100 days (post-dormancy), 'Remeslivna' acts as a predictable tool in crop rotation, allowing for precise harvesting schedules without significant risks of grain shattering.
