The soft wheat variety named Perdix gained prominence in the UK in the 1960s. In wheat genealogy, it is traced as a significant parental component in the breeding of subsequent varieties.
In agronomic literature, the variety became a benchmark example in the history of fighting phytopathogens. Its widespread cultivation ended in the late 1960s due to a sharp decline in resistance to yellow rust, which led to the organization of specialized crop disease monitoring services. In scientific reference books, the variety still appears as a carrier of the Yr2 resistance gene.
