A malting variety of intensive type

10.92 t/ha (Kursk obl.)

10.92 tonnes/hectare

Central Black Soil region

A mid-maturing variety. The plant is of short to medium height, therefore highly lodging resistant. The drought resistance is high. The grain is very large with a protein content of up to 11.4%

Regional optimum

70–80 days

400–450 pcs/m²

Production of malting quality grain requires limiting the nitrogen application upon sowing to not more than 40 kg/ha active substance and the application of phosphorus-potassium fertilisers in autumn or spring — to 60 kg/ha active substance.
Pursuant to the technology for reaping a bumper harvest of fodder barley with a high protein content (13% or more), the amount of nitrogen fertilisers required increases up to 100–120 kg/ha and phosphorus-potassium ones — up to 90 kg/ha

The variety is resistant to loose smut, powdery mildew and stem rust. It is highly susceptible to helminthosporium, net blotch and root rots. Moderately resistant to damage by frit fly.

Seed treatment against root rots and with an insecticide. One fungicide treatment is required. In case of a rich soil and a high yield potential, two fungicide treatments and application of the growth regulator Modus are recommended
