AFINA

AFINA is a soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety characterized by medium-early maturity and medium plant height. It exhibits high resistance to lodging and shattering, ensuring yield stability. The variety is recommended for cultivation in regions with suitable climatic conditions, specifically in the Stavropol Krai. AFINA is resistant to brown rust, though it is susceptible to solid head smut. It is recommended to sow this variety on a medium-level fertility background after non-solancious predecessors to achieve the best results. AFINA grain possesses high technological properties and belongs to the category of "strong" wheats. It is distinguished by its large size and high 1000-grain weight, which contributes to improved flour and bakery product quality. Natural grain density varies within 785-810 g/l, indicating high density and quality. Protein content in the grain averages 15.2% and can increase to 18.5% with spring sowing. Gluten content forms at an average of 30.7%, sometimes reaching 35%, ensuring good elasticity and baking properties. The AFINA variety is recommended for cultivation under conditions favorable for winter wheat development, considering proper crop rotation and agronomic practices. High grain quality and resistance to major diseases make this variety attractive for agricultural producers focused on obtaining high-quality raw materials for processing and bakery product production. Due to its characteristics, AFINA is a reliable choice for improving production efficiency and enhancing the quality of the final product.
