The wheat cultivar IPR 85, developed by IAPAR, has important traits including early maturity and vitreous, red colored kernels. It is moderately tolerant to aluminum in the soil, moderately resistant to sprouting and shattering. It also presented moderate resistance to powdery mildew and leaf rust. The quality parameters indicated overall high gluten strength, demonstrated by the alveographic W value of 371.10-4 J, and Hagberg Falling Number of 455 s, which indicates high quality for bread making or blending purposes. The mean grain yield was 3870 kg/ha in the North and Center-West regions of Paraná State.
