CHELYABINSKII 96

CHELYABINSKII 96 is a mid-late variety of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), mainly intended for grain-feed use. The vegetation period is from 73 to 85 days, which is a few days later than standard varieties. The plant is of medium height with a semi-erect bush, and the mass of 1000 grains varies within 42-48 grams. The variety is characterized by high protein content — from 13 to 15%, which makes it valuable for feed purposes.

The variety has medium resistance to a number of diseases, including loose smut, stem and dwarf rust, as well as various types of helminthosporiosis. However, it is highly susceptible to powdery smut and root rots, which requires a careful approach to plant protection. Drought resistance of the variety is slightly lower than standard indicators, which should be taken into account when choosing a growing region.

CHELYABINSKII 96 is recommended for cultivation in the Ural region, where it is adapted to local climatic conditions. Thanks to its characteristics, the variety is suitable for obtaining high-quality grain with high protein content, which is important for feeding livestock. The mid-late maturation period allows for effective use of the variety in the agro-technical systems of the region.
