A variety of elite
soft wheat Kalydon was bred in Canada.
Variety tests for frost resistance were held in Canada and Northern Norway, where the air temperature reached - 38 °C, and a variety test for drought resistance was also conducted in Argentina, where the average air temperature was + 45 °C.
The variety is characterized by a high potential yield of 115 — 120 t/ha, which is achieved thanks to a large spike (15-18 cm) and a high coefficient of bushiness.
Kalydon has immunity to fungal diseases and to viruses affecting common varieties of wheat.
It is recommended for cultivation in all agricultural zones in Ukraine.
Economic and biological characteristics:
High-intensity type of universal use on various agricultural backgrounds;
(//tractor-service.com)
It combines high productive bushiness (780-920 productive stems per 1 m2) and a large, well-seeded ear (62-82 grains per ear);
Middle-aged Vegetation period 282-287 days;
Medium-sized - 97-102 cm, resistant to lodging, shedding and germination
grains in the ear;
It is characterized by field resistance to the most common diseases: brown rust, stem rust, powdery mildew, head disease, increased tolerance to yellow dwarf virus
barley.
Grain quality: meets the requirements for strong wheat. Protein content 13.7-15.1%, gluten content 32-39%, flour strength 390-474 e.a.
Test signs: a variety of erythrospermum.
Ear of medium density, white, spiny, pyramidal, large. The spines are white, 64.6-88.0 mm in size. Spikelet scales are egg-shaped. There is a keel. The grain is red, elongated: length 7.7-8.6 mm, width 3.5-3.8 mm, thickness 3.0-3.7 mm.
Agrotechnical requirements: it has a high positive reaction to the increase of the agricultural background and a relatively high yield on low agricultural background and deviations in cultivation technology.
Features of the variety: provides effective implementation of all measures of intensification of cultivation, suitable for irrigation and organic farming. activities
