Tymofii

Originators – Plant Production Institute named after V.Ya. Yuriev of NAAS, Volyn State Agricultural Research Station.

Registration year – 2019. Recommended for growing in the woodlands. Variety – suberythrospermum.

Mid-ripening. The plant height is 80 – 95 cm. The lodging-resistance score is 9. Winter hardiness is increased (8.5 points). Drought resistance is high (9 points).

Grains are well-filled, elongated. The 1000-grain weight is 45-48 g. Flour-milling and bread-making qualities are high. The protein content in grain is 12.3-14.9%. The crude gluten content is 29-34%. The GDI is 60. The flour strength is 210. The conditioner-free loaf volume is 700 mL. The total bread-making score is 9.

The potential yield of grain is 12.0 t/ha. Tymofii’s high yields as well as gluten, dough and bread of good quality were experimentally confirmed at the University of California (Davis, CA, USA). Among 200 triticale cultivars, Tymofii took the first place in terms of bread-making qualities, with a bread volume of 740 mL and grain yields of 5.2 - 7.1 t/ha and of 11.8 - 12.9 t/ha under non-irrigated and irrigated conditions, respectively (California and Colorado, 2019).

It is recommended to sow after fallow predecessors and the best forecrops (pea, potato, silage corn and perennial grasses). The sowing time is optimal for the zone. The seeding rate is 5-6 million seeds per 1 hectare.
