Hüseyinbey Bread Wheat Seed
This is a 100 PERCENT DOMESTIC AND NATIONAL bread wheat variety with VERY HIGH YIELD that has been created completely through national means, that is in the mid early maturity group, that has hard, red grains and is awnless, with white medium-large ears and a very sturdy peduncle, and that can produce many tillers under suitable conditions. Its characteristics and values, based on data and observations made during the variety creation process, are briefly presented below.
It is resistant to cold weather and winter conditions. It is unaffected by extremely cold winters. It does not get affected by early and late spring frosts. It is a variety that flourishes at lower temperatures. Thanks to these characteristics, it grows in many parts of our country where wheat is cultivated, all of the ground and irrigated areas, except for places where the winters are warm in the south and the high temperatures come early.
Due to its medium-length and very sturdy peduncle, it does not tilt. It can produce up to 13 tillers under suitable conditions. The average number of tillers is 7. Ears grow larger as conditions improve. It can produce up to 100 grains in one ear. The number of grains per ear is 50–60.
It is a high quality variety, with thousand grain and hectoliter weights ranging from medium to high, its gluten and sedimentation rates from high to very high, and its energy from medium to high.
Its nitrogen use efficiency improves greatly, especially under heavy rain or irrigation. With the increased efficiency in the use of nitrogen, yield and quality also improve. Under conditions in which irrigation is possible, irrigation at the beginning of earing and grain filling has a highly positive effect on yield and quality.
The yield of our HÜSEYİNBEY variety is in the 600–1050 kg/da range. Irrigation and high rainfall increase the yield substantially. Due to the increased water use, fertilization especially in summer must be carried out using ammonium nitrate, and at the beginning of earing, and a slightly increased use of fertilizer (5 kg/da max.) will improve both yield and quality.
The recommended seed quantity for October is 20–22 kg/da.
