Kladenets is a winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) variety intended for grain and fodder use. It belongs to medium-maturing multi-rowed varieties with a vegetation period of 196 to 236 days. The plant is of medium height, with a pyramidal-cylindrical ear of medium density and large grains with a non-hairy abdominal groove. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 38 to 50 grams, indicating good grain quality. The variety belongs to the parallelum group and is characterized by lodging resistance, which facilitates harvesting and increases yield retention.
Kladenets is recommended for cultivation in the North Caucasus region, specifically in Krasnodar and Stavropol krais, where it shows average yields of about 55.2 centners per hectare. The variety has winter hardiness at the level of regional standards, ensuring its reliable overwintering and stable fruiting. Additionally, Kladenets is distinguished by high resistance to barley loose smut, which reduces yield losses and improves grain quality.
This barley variety is widely used in agriculture as a reliable grain plant. Due to its agronomic characteristics and disease resistance, Kladenets is a profitable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality winter barley harvest.
