SELENGA is a soft spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety with an average maturity period, characterized by high resistance to low temperatures and major diseases. It is recommended for very early spring sowing or late autumn sowing, which allows for effective use of agronomic potential under various climatic conditions. The variety has a compensatory growth type, ensuring stable grain quality and high yield, as well as good resistance to lodging.
SELENGA grain is large, semi-long, with a medium narrow furrow, and the mass of 1000 grains varies from 38 to 48 grams. The variety belongs to medium-early maturing types with a vegetative period of 85-105 days, ripening a few days later than the "Burjat 79" variety. It has medium drought resistance and high technological and baking properties, making it in demand for the production of high-quality flour and bakery products. In addition, the grain is weakly affected by powdery head smut and is resistant to shattering, which contributes to crop preservation.
SELENGA is approved for use in various regions of Russia, including the Irkutsk region, Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Republic of Buryatia, the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, the Tyva Republic, and the Khakassia Republic. The variety was bred and registered by leading scientific institutions, such as the Siberian Federal Research Center for Agrobiotechnologies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Buryat Research Institute of Agriculture, and LLC NPK "Baikal". Thanks to its adaptive qualities and high agronomic characteristics, SELENGA is a reliable choice for agricultural producers seeking a stable and high-quality wheat crop.
