Hirondella

Winter barley of the variety Hirondella is a high-yielding two-row variety with a maturation period of 252 to 273 days. This variety is distinguished by its resistance to lodging, shattering of grains in the ear, as well as to diseases such as helminthosporiosis and powdery mildew, ensuring stable yields and high grain quality. Plant height varies from 67 to 76 cm, facilitating harvesting and reducing losses during collection.

The yield of the Hirondella variety ranges from 50.6 to 93.1 centners per hectare, making it attractive for agricultural producers aiming for maximum productivity. The optimal seeding rate is 3.4 to 3.6 million germinating seeds per hectare; for late sowing, it is recommended to increase the rate to 3.6-3.9 million germinating seeds per hectare. The thousand-grain weight varies from 50.7 to 52.0 grams, indicating the variety's large-grained nature.

The protein content in the grain is at the level of 12.1-13.3%, ensuring good raw material quality for various uses. Seeds are supplied in big-bags of 1 ton and sacks of 50 kg, which is convenient for storage and transportation. Seed reproduction is first-generation, guaranteeing high germination and viability of the planting material. The developer of the variety is the company SAATBAU from Germany, and the producer is the company "Rost Agro".
