Hard winter wheat ZOLOTKO® is a medium-early variety of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) intended for agronomic cultivation. The vegetative period ranges from 217 to 276 days, allowing the variety to mature at a time close to the variety Leukorum 21. The plant is characterized by a short average height of 72 to 95 cm, lodging resistance, and an intermediate semi-prostrate bush type. The ear is white, cylindrical, medium length, and dense, with white awns equal to the ear length at the top. The kernel is elongated with an absent or very short awn.
