Shhestopalivka

Genetic Potential and Morphology

The winter wheat variety "Shestopalivka," developed by "Pryvatne silskohospodarske selektsiino," is engineered for intensive farming systems. The core focus of this variety is the synergy between high yield potential (up to 9-10 tons per hectare) and premium grain quality. With a height of 80-90 cm, the variety offers excellent lodging resistance, which is critical when applying high nitrogen fertilizer rates required to achieve maximum production.

Biological Defense and Development

A standout feature of "Shestopalivka" is its robust physiological resistance to pathogens, specifically Fusarium. This genetic trait allows farmers to protect grain quality even in seasons with high humidity during the filling stage. With a vegetation period of 280-290 days, the variety is classified as mid-maturing, ensuring balanced biomass accumulation and uniform ripening.

Grain Quality Parameters

The agronomic profile of "Shestopalivka" is optimized for high-grade food wheat production. The gluten content ranges from 25-30%, placing the variety in a strong position for milling applications. The 1,000-kernel weight of 40-45 grams indicates excellent seed filling, which guarantees strong germination energy and vigor upon sowing.
