SHULINDINKA

Durum Wheat for High-Quality Milling Standards

The "Shulidinka" variety from the V. Ya. Yuriev Plant Production Institute is a breeding response to the needs of growers seeking a balance between high-quality durum grain and consistent yields in the Ukrainian climate. Unlike soft wheat varieties, this winter hybrid demonstrates exceptional quality indicators: gluten content consistently stays above 30%, making it a highly valued asset for pasta manufacturers and producers of premium flour.

Agronomic Potential and Resilience

The variety's strength lies in its combination of productivity (a potential of 9–10 tons per hectare) and high stand density. With a seeding rate that provides 4.5–5.0 million productive stems per hectare, the variety develops a strong, lodging-resistant crop at 90–100 cm in height. This effectively mitigates the risk of yield loss during heavy rainfall or high-wind conditions.

• Phytosanitary Barrier: Genetically built-in high resistance to smut diseases is a key advantage of "Shulidinka." The variety effectively resists loose and covered smut, and is also protected against a wide spectrum of pathogens, including leaf rust, septoria, fusarium, and powdery mildew.
• Technology-Ready: Large kernels with a thousand-grain weight of 50–55 grams ensure excellent germination energy and a successful start for winter crops.

Why Choose "Shulidinka"?

The variety is optimal for farms in the Forest-Steppe and Steppe zones of Ukraine focused on high-grade durum wheat production. With a winter hardiness rating of 7 points, it demonstrates predictable performance during the off-season, provided standard agronomic timelines are followed. It is the choice for producers ready to invest in quality breeding for export markets or value-added processing.
