The winter hard durum wheat variety Siniora is a mid-season and mid-height variety developed to produce high-quality grain primarily intended for the manufacture of pasta and cereal products. This variety is characterized by a short stem and high resistance to lodging, which helps preserve the yield and improve its quality. Siniora matures 2-3 days earlier than the variety Krupinka, allowing for the optimization of harvest timing and increased efficiency of agrotechnical measures.
Siniora wheat exhibits high resistance to a range of diseases, including yellow and brown rust, powdery mildew, septoria, and viral infections, which significantly reduces the risk of yield losses. Additionally, the variety demonstrates high drought resistance and above-average winter hardiness, making it suitable for cultivation under various climatic conditions. It is recommended to sow this variety after the best predecessors, such as fallow land (black and occupied), perennial forage crops, peas, and rapeseed, at a sowing rate of 4.0-5.0 million viable seeds per hectare.
The Siniora variety is recommended for cultivation in the Central Black Earth, North Caucasus, and Lower Volga regions of Russia, as well as in the Lipetsk region, the Southern and Eastern zones of the Rostov region, the Krasnodar region, and the Kalmykia Republic. The yield of the variety averages about 95.6 centners/ha with maximum values up to 109.6 centners/ha, which confirms its high productivity and economic attractiveness for farmers. Thanks to its qualities and adaptability, Siniora wheat is widely used in seed material for agricultural enterprises and farms.
