Vorozheya

The Vorozeiya variety of soft spring wheat is an intermediate-early and medium-statured type with a vegetative period of 75-79 days. The plants have a semi-erect habitus, ensuring an optimal ratio of straw and grain yield components. The awn is weakly developed, with a strong waxy coating on the spike, upper internode, and sheath of the flag leaf. The spike is pyramidal, of medium density, white in color, with short awn-like appendages and a rounded shoulder of medium width. The grain is colored, with a 1000-grain mass of about 36 grams. The variety is characterized by moderate resistance to hard head smut, brown rust, and septoria, as well as high drought tolerance. Thanks to these qualities and a balanced habitus, Vorozeiya demonstrates high productivity and yield stability in various regions. The maximum registered yield reached 69.4 centners per hectare, while average figures vary by region: in the Volga-Vyatka region, about 32.7 c/ha, in the Ural region — 14.2 c/ha, and in the West Siberian region, the variety exceeds the average standard by 2.4 c/ha, reaching 33.6 c/ha. Vorozeiya is classified as a strong wheat in terms of gluten content, ensuring good baking qualities of the grain. The variety is recommended for cultivation in various regions of Russia, including the Volga-Vyatka, Ural, and West Siberian regions. The pedigree of the variety includes complex hybridization involving such varieties as Voronezhskaya 6, Rannaya 73, Krestyanka, Prokhorovka, and Sokrates, which contributes to its high adaptability and quality characteristics.
