PRIMORSKY 89

Primorsky 89 barley is a medium-maturing, low-growing, two-row barley developed by Russian breeders. The ear of this variety is long, yellow, medium density, and slightly tapering. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 38 to 54 grams, indicating large grain size and high grain quality. The variety is resistant to root rots and has medium susceptibility to diseases such as net and striped smut, as well as ear fusarium, while it is susceptible to powdery bunt.

Primorsky 89 is widely used in the brewing industry due to the high quality of malt obtained from its grains. The protein content in the grain ranges from 9.5% to 12.3%, which is optimal for beer production. The variety is characterized by medium drought tolerance and can yield an average of about 3.5 tons per hectare, with a potential up to 6 tons under favorable conditions. This makes it attractive for cultivation in various regions of Russia with a suitable climate.

Recommended for cultivation in the Central-Black Earth region and other regions of the country, including the Northwestern, Volga-Vyatsk, Middle-Volga, Urals, West Siberian, East Siberian, and Far Eastern. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and grain quality, the Primorsky 89 variety is one of the popular choices among barley producers oriented towards the brewing industry.
