Dragana, winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ssp. vulgare var. lutescens) was released by the Commission for Varietal Approval in 2002. It was developed by the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, Novi Sad, Serbia. It was selected from the cross: Sremska 2 and Francuska. Dragana is a medium early maturing cultivar with winter growth habit and good resistance to winterkilling, being 2-3 days earlier than Pobeda in time of heading. The grain of Dragana is red, hard, and gives a high test weight. The spikes are white, awns absent, scurs present and moderately dense. Dragana is a short-statured cultivar, about 85 to 95 cm in most environments in Serbia, with a good resistance to lodging. The resistance to leaf rust is very good; the resistance to stem rust and to powdery mildew is good. The milling and baking quality are very good. The content of wet gluten is about 33.5%. Dragana is a high yielding cultivar with a genetic yield potential of over 11 t/ha. A successful combination of genes responsible for important characteristics makes Dragana an important genotype for a profitable and stable production. Overall, Dragana has good agronomic and bread making properties compared with the existing winter wheat cultivar.
