Simkoda Myronivska

The spring wheat variety Simkoda Myronivska, of domestic production, has been included in the State Register since 2013 and is recommended for cultivation in the forest-steppe and Polesie regions. This medium-maturing soft wheat variety is characterized by high yield and genetic resistance to major diseases, such as powdery mildew, rust, and leaf septoria. The plant has a strong stem of medium thickness, approximately 83 cm tall, ensuring resistance to lodging. The ear is long, cylindrical, glabrous, and without awns. The grain is medium-sized, oval-shaped, with a reddish tint, with a thousand-grain weight of 43.1 g and a grain density of 764 g/l. Simkoda Myronivska exhibits high drought resistance, rated at 9 points, as well as resistance to shattering and lodging at the same level. Disease infection levels are low: powdery mildew — 1%, rust — up to 20%, leaf septoria — 15%. The grain contains high levels of crude protein (16.9%) and crude gluten (approximately 30%), ensuring high flour quality. The total glassiness of the grain reaches 94%, the flour strength is 177 arbitrary units, and the loaf volume from this flour is 650 cm³, indicating good baking properties of the variety. Agronomic requirements for the variety include early sowing with a seeding rate of 5.5–6.0 million germinating seeds per hectare and a sowing depth of 3–5 cm with mandatory rolling. The variety belongs to the intensive type, optimally combining high yield with grain quality, making it attractive for agricultural production in recommended regions.
