Barley Pallidum 107

Pallidum 107 is a medium-maturing spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) variety intended for grain and feed use. The plant features short or medium-length stems and a semi-erect bush. The ear is cylindrical and loose, with long awns, lacking a waxy coating on the ear, and awns longer than the ear without anthocyanin pigmentation at the tips. The grain is large, with a hairy ventral groove and an enveloping lodicule, with a 1000-grain weight ranging from 43 to 50 grams. The vegetative period of the variety lasts from 70 to 86 days, corresponding to a medium-maturing type.

The variety is approved for the Central Chernozem region and recommended for cultivation in Belgorod, Kursk, Tambov, and Voronezh regions. The average yield in the Central Chernozem region reaches 33.7 centners per hectare, approximately 31 centners per hectare in Belgorod and Tambov regions, with the maximum yield recorded in Lipetsk region at 82.2 centners per hectare. Pallidum 107 exhibits moderate drought resistance and contains 11 to 12.9% protein in the grain, making it valuable for feed purposes.

The variety demonstrates resistance to lodging, losing only one point to the Gonaar variety annually in terms of lodging susceptibility. However, it is susceptible to certain diseases such as powdery mildew and helminthosporium, and highly susceptible to stem rust. Due to its agronomic traits and adaptation to the Central Chernozem region, Pallidum 107 is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve stable yields of high-quality grain and feed products.
