Milena

Technical potential of the Milena variety

The "Milena" variety, developed by breeders at Ooo Konopleks in collaboration with Agrosoyuz experts, is a monoecious type of industrial hemp, which is a key factor for commercial cultivation. Unlike dioecious forms, monoecy ensures synchronous ripening of the entire biomass, which is critical for mechanized harvesting and processing for fiber or seeds.

With a vegetation period of 110–120 days, this variety belongs to the mid-season group, allowing farmers to precisely plan their harvesting campaign. The genetic selection of the variety is focused on improving the plant's barrier functions against pathogens. High resistance to Fusarium is a critical node of biological protection, minimizing crop loss risks during adverse weather conditions and high soil moisture.

Production characteristics and breeding contribution

• Originator contribution: Development involved Valerian Serkov and Olga Davydova, ensuring line purity and phenotype predictability.
• Biological value: The stability of the monoecious type eliminates the need for separate harvesting of male and female plants, significantly reducing the cost per ton of finished product.
• Agrotechnics: Resistance to Fusarium allows for reduced fungicide load, making production more environmentally friendly and economically viable in intensive farming.

Thus, "Milena" from Ooo Konopleks is a breeding solution oriented toward processing efficiency. The stability of its monoecious trait and immunity to soil-borne fungi make this variety a balanced tool for modern agricultural enterprises striving for high-quality, homogeneous raw materials without excessive expenditure on chemical crop protection.
