Barley Governor

The Governor spring barley variety is a medium-early grain and fodder barley created in the Orenburg region and recommended for cultivation in the Urals region, including the Orenburg region and the Republic of Bashkortostan. The plant is of medium height, characterized by lodging resistance and high drought tolerance, ensuring stable productivity under contrasting abiotic factors. The mass of 1000 grains ranges from 35 to 61 grams, and the protein content in the grain reaches 12.3%, making it valuable for fodder purposes.

The Governor variety is characterized by large grain size and increased grain productivity, maturing 2-3 days later than the standard variety Natalie. It is moderately resistant to bunt but susceptible to loose smut, which requires attention during cultivation and the possible application of protective measures. The average yield in the Urals region is about 20.3 centners per hectare, confirming its high adaptability and efficiency in the region's agroclimatic conditions.

For sowing, high-quality seeds are used, which undergo control at all stages of production, including test fields. If necessary, seeds require additional treatment with fungicides to protect against diseases and improve germination. The Governor variety is a reliable choice for farmers seeking to obtain a stable and high yield of barley in the conditions of the Urals and adjacent territories.
