ALTAISKIY 10

ALTAISKIY 10 is a mid-early variety of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) intended for grain and fodder use. It is characterized by a vegetation period of 62 to 81 days, which allows for efficient cultivation in regions with a moderate climate. The plants are short-statured with a semi-erect bush, resistant to lodging, which facilitates harvesting and reduces crop losses. The spike is of pyramidal shape with medium density, featuring long awned awns with strong anthocyanin coloration at the tips. The grain is large, with a non-hairy ventral furrow and embracing lodicules; the mass of 1,000 grains varies from 38 to 51 grams. The variety is distinguished by high drought resistance and resistance to diseases such as striped helminthosporium and solid smut, which increases crop reliability under complex climatic conditions. Anthocyanin coloration of the flag leaf ears is moderate to strong, and the waxy bloom on the sheath and spike is very pronounced, which helps protect plants from adverse factors. The average yield in the West Siberian region is about 38 centners per hectare, with a maximum reaching 67.8 centners, indicating the high potential of the variety. ALTAISKIY 10 is recommended for cultivation in such regions as Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, and Tomsk regions, as well as the Altai Krai. Thanks to its agrotechnical characteristics and resistance to stress conditions, this variety is suitable for intensive farming with the application of fertilizers providing the necessary macro- and micronutrients. It is a reliable choice for farmers seeking to obtain a stable and high-quality barley crop for grain and fodder purposes.
