Barley Gerard

Barley variety Gerard is an early-maturing six-rowed barley with a cylindrical, light-yellow spike up to 9 cm long. This variety is characterized by enhanced drought and cold resistance, allowing successful cultivation in various climatic zones, including Polissia, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe. The grain contains 13-14% protein, making it valuable for both feed and food purposes. Gerard is resistant to powdery mildew and spot diseases, but seed treatment with a fungicidal protectant before sowing is recommended to enhance plant protection.

The variety has high yield potential, reaching 7-10 tons per hectare at a seeding rate of 180-220 kg/ha. Due to its biological characteristics, barley effectively utilizes autumn-winter precipitation, which is especially important for winter crops. Winter barley Gerard matures 8-12 days earlier than winter wheat, enabling earlier harvest and increased agricultural efficiency.

Gerard barley seeds are available for order from the manufacturer with a minimum order of 1000 kg, packaged in 50 kg bags. Various payment and delivery options are available, including transportation to the farm or self-pickup from warehouses in Cherkasy and Dnipro regions. This variety is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high yield and stable production across different regions.
