Barley Escalena

Stable Yields with Intensive Management

The «Eskalena» barley variety from «RVA Ukraina» is the go-to choice for farmers focused on high-quality grain with a high protein content within a tight timeframe. With a vegetation period of 80-90 days, this variety allows for efficient crop rotation management, minimizing risks associated with late summer droughts.

Agronomic Advantages

• Resistance as the Basis for Profitability: «RVA Ukraina» breeding is focused on protecting against key pathogens. You can reduce intensive chemical treatments against powdery mildew, dwarf rust, and helminthosporium. The variety shows robust resistance to net blotch, maintaining a healthy photosynthetic leaf surface until physiological maturity.
• Compactness and Quality: The two-row ear and a plant height of 60-70 cm provide an optimal balance to prevent lodging. Even on highly fertile soils with high fertilizer input, the plants maintain a vertical position, which is critical for efficient combine operation and minimizing harvest losses.

Practical Application Scenarios

This variety is perfectly suited for operations where achieving a stable 12% nitrogenous substance content in dry matter is crucial. «Eskalena» responds well to split nitrogen applications, allowing agronomists to push grain quality indicators to peak levels. Thanks to its short stature, the variety allocates more resources toward forming plump, well-filled grain. It is best applied on fields with a high agro-background where it is necessary to realize yield potential within a narrow growing window.
