LAURICA

Laurica is a medium-maturing spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) variety intended for universal use, including brewing. This variety is characterized by its semi-dwarf stature and strong straw, which ensures lodging resistance and contributes to high harvest quality. Laurica exhibits high resistance to major diseases such as net blotch, crown rust, and root-knot nematodes, and has low resistance to rhynchosporium. To protect against powdery and solid head blight, as well as leaf blotch, seed treatment and one fungicide application before heading is recommended, which helps maintain the flag leaf and head in a healthy state.

The Laurica variety demonstrates high drought resistance and yield potential up to 110 c/ha, with a maximum recorded yield of 64.7 c/ha. The mass of 1000 grains ranges from 38–40 grams, indicating good grain quality. For optimal sowing, a sowing rate of 350–400 seeds per square meter is recommended for early sowing and 400–450 seeds for late sowing. The variety is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including the Smolensk and Tulskaya oblasts.

The delivery of Laurica barley is made on a permanent basis with the possibility of shipment by road and rail transport. The product complies with the Russian GOST and is available for delivery to any ports of the country, including St. Petersburg, Novorossiysk, and Vladivostok. The minimum delivery batch is 200 tons, which allows meeting the needs of both large agricultural enterprises and processing companies.
