Triticum fungicidum (Triticum fungicidum)
An experimental cross from Soviet times, which has been hidden in gene banks for decades. An octaploid cross of Triticum turgidum subsp. carthlicum and Triticum timopheevii. They had obviously hoped for a high yield and good resistance to fungal diseases. After having tried growing it for one year I can only say that they seem to have failed in both respects. It was unusually hard hit by mildew, and the ears were thin with few grains.
