A high-yielding variety of intensive type

10.23 t/ha (Kursk obl.)

10.23 t/ha

Central Black Soil region

A mid-maturing variety with a relatively short stalk and a high lodging resistance. It has an enhanced resistance to pre-harvest sprouting. The drought resistance is on par with the check varieties. The kernel is very large. The tillering capacity is medium.

Regional optimum

68–84 days

380–420 pcs/m² — favourable conditions
420–460 pcs/m² — late sowing, unfavourable conditions

42–53 g

Application of nitrogenous fertiliser (considering N content in the soil and the previous crop) upon sowing: 30–40 kg/ha active substance, phosphorus and potassium depending on the soil type, predecessor and agrochemical soil reserve data

Moderately resistant to loose smut and net blotch; moderately susceptible to covered smut; highly susceptible to helminthosporium blight. Highly resistant to rhynchosporium leaf spot and dwarf leaf rust

Particular attention needs to be paid to seed treatment against smut diseases. One fungicide treatment is obligatory. In case high yield is expected, two fungicide treatments and a plant growth regulator application are recommended.

Malting (low protein content, high extractability)
