The variety is characterized by high resistance to heat, drought, and lodging, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic conditions, including the Central Black Earth, North Caucasus, and Middle Volga regions. PRIMORSKIY 98 also shows weak susceptibility to diseases such as powdery mildew, dwarf rust, and loose smut, which contributes to stable yields and reduced costs for plant protection.

This barley is a grain-forage variety with protein content up to 11.8%, making it valuable for both feed purposes and the brewing industry. The average yield of the variety reaches 3.4 tons per hectare (or 55.9 centners per hectare by region), confirming its high productivity and economic attractiveness for agricultural producers.
