VOLNITSIA

Volnitsia is a soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety characterized by medium-early maturity and semi-tall growth. It has resistance to lodging and higher than average frost hardiness, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic zones, including the North-West, North-East, Azov, and South zones of the Rostov region. The growing period of the variety ranges from 219 to 278 days, with a thousand grain weight ranging from 38 to 49 grams, and yield in the North Caucasus region reaching 50.2 centners per hectare. The variety is moderately resistant to diseases such as brown rust, powdery mildew, and septoriosis, while possessing excellent baking qualities. However, in agriculture, Volnitsia is more often used as a feed wheat intended for animal feeding. It contains a high level of protein, vitamins B and E, as well as lysine and phosphorus, making it a valuable component in the production of compound feeds. Thanks to its high nutritional and energy value, this variety is widely used in livestock farming, providing quality plant feed. The grain moisture content does not exceed 15%, which meets the standards for feed grain. Volnitsia wheat is not intended for human consumption and is used exclusively for fodder purposes. Market purchase prices for this variety are quite high, reflecting its demand among compound feed producers. You can buy Volnitsia forage wheat directly from farmers or through intermediaries, ensuring the availability of this feed for livestock farms.
