Ayzhan

Winter barley Ayzhan (ESD-27) is a highly effective cover crop designed to improve soil quality and increase crop yields. It promotes humus formation, enriches soil with nutrients, reduces acidity, and enhances soil aeration. Due to these properties, Ayzhan suppresses weed growth and reduces the development of fungal diseases and pests, making it an indispensable component of agrotechnologies in the forest-steppe zone.

This barley variety is distinguished by high drought resistance, confirmed by ratings of 6–8 points for this parameter. Additionally, the crop exhibits resistance to lodging and various diseases such as powdery mildew, helminthosporiosis, and rust, with resistance ratings of 8–9 points. The vegetation period ranges from 82 to 87 days, and plant height reaches 50.1–61.8 cm. The grain has high protein content (12.9–13.8%) and uniformity within 92.3–96.2%, indicating quality and uniformity of the harvest.

For sowing, the recommended rate is 2.5–3 kg per 100 m², which ensures yields ranging from 19.8 to 49.3 centners per hectare. Ayzhan is a reliable choice for farmers seeking to enhance soil fertility and achieve stable yields even under dry climatic conditions. Moreover, this barley improves soil structure and reduces the harmful effects of pathogens, making it a vital component of sustainable agriculture.
