POVOLZHSKY 22 is a spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) variety characterized by a medium-early maturity period and a medium-height plant type, with heights ranging from 50 to 70 cm. It is distinguished by high productive tillering and a short average stem length, ensuring resistance to lodging. The variety is intended for grain-forage use, making it in demand in agriculture for feed production.

One of the key features of the POVOLZHSKY 22 variety is its high drought tolerance, which allows for stable and high yield even under harsh climatic conditions. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 38 to 51 grams, while the protein content in the grain ranges from 10.9% to 17%, indicating good grain quality. The natural grain mass is 680-690 g/l, which further confirms its high nutritional value.

The variety is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including Rostov Oblast, Krasnodar and Stavropol Krais, as well as Samara Oblast and the Republic of Tatarstan. The sowing rate is 4.5-5.0 million viable seeds per hectare. Agrotechnical recommendations for cultivating the variety take into account biological features, sowing dates, application of chemical protection agents, and harvesting features, which contribute to the effective use of the variety in agricultural production.
