Ebson

Ebson — this is a Canadian winter barley variety Eldon, distinguished by high yield and resistance to adverse conditions. Plants reach a height of 120–135 cm, have a high tillering coefficient with 20 stems per plant and thick stems with a diameter of 3.3 cm. The ear is cylindrical, sixteen-rowed, 21 cm long, which contributes to good grain formation. The 1000-grain weight is 52 grams, indicating large grain size. The variety has high cold resistance up to -48 °C and enhanced disease resistance, including brown and dwarf rust, powdery mildew, and barley mosaic virus (BMV). The vegetation period is approximately 240 days for autumn sowing and 120 days for spring sowing, allowing flexible planning of sowing and harvesting dates. Ebson is characterized by high germination and emergence energy — 98%, as well as variety purity of 99.99%. The recommended seeding rate is 120 kg per hectare or 3.4–3.6 million seeds per hectare, ensuring optimal plant density and maximum productivity. The potential yield reaches 137 centners per hectare, making this variety attractive for farmers targeting high yields and grain quality. The grain moisture at harvest is 12%, facilitating storage and further processing. Barley Ebson is widely used in various sectors of agriculture and industry. This variety's grain is suitable for brewing and feed production, highlighting its multi-purpose application. Due to high disease resistance and adaptation to climatic conditions of the Polesie and Forest Steppe regions, the Ebson variety is a reliable choice for farmers aiming for stable and high-quality yields. Harvesting periods vary from early June to early July, enabling effective planning of agricultural operations.
