Danica is a winter wheat variety. It was developed by crossing genetically divergent and highly productive parents. Danica is a medium early variety. It has exellent resistance to winterkilling. The average stem height is 82 cm, with a very good resistance to lodging. Spike is white, smooth, awnless, medium compact with 19-21 spikelets. It is a semidwarf variety. The resistance to leaf rust (Puccinia recondita tritici) is exellent and to stem rust (Puccinia graminis tritici) is good. The resistance to powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis tritici) is very good and to bunt (Tiletia tritici) is medium. The resistance to cereal leaf beetle (Lema melanopus L.) is medium to satisfactory. The resistance to shattering is very good. The apsolute 1000 grain mass is about 36 g and volume grain mass 82.4 kg/hl. Danica is classified in the subgroup A2. The milling and baking quality are exellent. In optimum agroecological conditions the variety reaches the genetic quality potential of the 1st technological group. The content of dry gluten is about 10%. The variety Danica is very productive, with the genetic potential for grain yield above 11 t/ha and suitable for growing on fertile soils and more intensive production conditions. Danica is a genotype for a profitable production at a high level of intensity. Danica was released by the Yugoslav Federal Commission for Varietal Approval in 1990.
