Winter triticale variety Venets Sibiri 2

The State variety testing of agricultural crops (1988). Winter triticale cultivar Venets Sibiri 2 was bred as a result of selection from the hybrid population Omskaya x Shans. Due to the lower plant height (86 cm), the variety is resistant to lodging (4.6 points). The vegetation period is 323 days, winter hardiness is 82%. The yield of the new variety is at the level of 6.96 t/ha, which is 0.78 t/ha higher than that of the Altaiskaya 4 standard. The maximum yield of the Venets Sibiri 2 variety was noted in 2019 (7.97 t/ha). In comparison with the standard, the new variety has the best values of some elements of the crop structure (plant density for harvesting, productive tillering, ear grain weight), as well as grain quality indicators (weight of 1000 grains, falling number, volumetric yield of bread, overall baking grade). In 2021, the variety Venets Sibiri 2 was transferred to the State variety testing system. The new variety is recommended for testing for grain purposes for the food and feed industry in the forest-steppe zone of the West Siberian and East Siberian regions.
