Barley Masimo

Agronomic profile of "Masimo": stability for the 2025 season

The "Masimo" barley is a complex hybrid of Polish breeding from Poznanska Hodowla Roslin, entering Ukrainian fields in 2025. In the face of climate instability, this variety demonstrates the adaptability essential for achieving predictable yields.

Field performance and resistance

The main feature of "Masimo" lies in its ability to maintain productivity despite moisture deficits. The genetic architecture of this hybrid, created via the СЗ method, is geared toward the efficient use of limited soil resources. Field trials show the following:

• Heat and drought tolerance: The plant exhibits a high degree of tolerance to sharp temperature spikes during grain filling, preventing premature ripening and loss of 1000-kernel weight.
• Lodging resistance: Due to its balanced stem morphology, "Masimo" maintains an upright position even during heavy rainfall and strong winds, which simplifies harvesting and reduces yield losses.
• Phytosanitary profile: The hybrid possesses complex resistance to key barley pathogens, allowing for optimized fungicide application costs without compromising yield potential.

Growing zones

Due to its plasticity, "Masimo" is recommended for a wide range of soil and climatic zones in Ukraine. It effectively reaches its potential on fertile chernozems while maintaining stable performance on less favorable soils, making it a versatile tool for agronomists working across different regions of the country.
