The main goal of Latvian breeders is to create the new winter wheat varieties, suitable for the local agro-climatic conditions; ensuring high yielding, resistant to lodging and diseases, having grain quality appropriate for producers. The winter wheat variety ‘Fredis’ was developed at the State Stende Cereals Breeding Institute from 1986 till 2002 as a result of hybridization and repeated selection. Vija Strazdina, Maija Ceraukste and Solveiga Malecka are the originators of the variety ‘Fredis’ (Donskaya polukarlikovaya/Abe//Lowrin 24). The variety is characterized by good winter hardiness (7-9 points), earliness (growing period 212-215 days starting from January 01), and the yield on average is 6.0 t haE-1. The grain quality is suitable for food. Depending on the growing conditions, the protein content is 128 -15.0 g kgE-1, the gluten content is 240 – 350 g kgE-1, Zeleny index is 43 -54 ml, Falling number is 250 - 290 s. The variety ‘Fredis’ is awned, semi-dwarf (the plant height is 80-85 cm), resistant to lodging (7 points) and of middle resistance (3-5) to powdery mildew and brown rust. The variety is registered in the Latvian Plant Catalogue in 2007 and in the Estonian Plant Catalogue in 2011.
