Amaranth Dobrynya

Universal potential of Dobrynya amaranth

Working with the 'Dobrynya' amaranth variety from the Voronezh State Agrarian University, you immediately notice its flexibility. This variety is a true workhorse for farms seeking a balance between high forage yield and pathogen resistance. With a plant height of 150–200 cm, it produces a significant amount of biomass, which is crucial for efficient use in green conveyor systems.

Yield and nutritional value

In field conditions, 'Dobrynya' delivers predictable results: 60–80 tons of green mass per hectare. This is an impressive figure for livestock, swine, and poultry diets. If you are planning for grain production, you can expect 4–5 tons per hectare. The grain is versatile, successfully used both as concentrated feed and in the food industry. Crucially, the plants do not require endless fungicide applications; their genetic resistance to mosaic and smut diseases significantly saves on crop protection costs.

Agronomic features

The main advantage of 'Dobrynya' is its immunity. In years with high humidity, when other crops struggle with rust or stem smut, this variety holds its own. The plant is low-maintenance, though timely harvesting is essential to preserve maximum protein content. Its suitability for ornamental use is a pleasant bonus: the tall, powerful inflorescences make it an excellent choice for perimeter planting without risking crop loss.
