MIP Azart

Barley MIP Azart is a medium-maturing barley variety intended for cultivation in various climatic zones of Ukraine, including the Polissia, Forest Steppe, and Steppe. The vegetation period ranges from 84 to 90 days, and plant height reaches 60-75 cm. The variety is characterized by high yield potential of 2.8 to 5.1 tons per hectare, with 1000-grain weight varying between 39.9-48.7 grams. From germination to heading, it takes approximately 54-57 days, confirming its medium-maturing status. MIP Azart was developed in 2019 within the breeding program for brewing barley in Myroslav and belongs to the high-quality, bright brewing barley varieties. It is distinguished by high protein content in the grain — from 11.9 to 12.6%, which is an important indicator for beer production. The variety belongs to the 'nutans' type and is known for its stable grain quality, making it popular in the brewing industry. One of the key features of this variety is its high resistance to adverse conditions and diseases. MIP Azart exhibits good resistance to lodging (8-9 points), shattering (9 points), as well as diseases such as powdery mildew, helminthosporiosis, sooty mold, leaf spots, and dwarf rust (6-8 points). These qualities ensure reliable harvests and minimize losses during cultivation, making it attractive to farmers focused on producing high-quality brewing raw materials.
