LIDAR is a spring barley variety (Hordeum vulgare L.) characterized by medium maturity and medium plant height. It is intended for grain-forage use and is noted for its high adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions. The variety is successfully cultivated in the Volga-Vyatka, Middle Volga, and Urals regions, demonstrating stable yield and good agronomic performance.
One of the key features of the LIDAR variety is its resistance to lodging, powdery mildew, root rots, and stem rust, which significantly reduces the risk of yield losses and improves its quality. The grain of this variety contains up to 14.3% protein, making it valuable for feed purposes. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 46 to 60 grams, indicating good grain development and density.
The average yield of the LIDAR variety is 35.5 c/ha in the Volga-Vyatka region, 31.6 c/ha in the Middle Volga region, and 22.2 c/ha in the Urals region, with maximum yield indicators reaching 61.2 c/ha. Due to its characteristics and disease resistance, this variety is a reliable choice for agricultural producers aiming to obtain high-quality and stable barley yields.
