Talisman Myronivskyi

Talisman Myronivskyi — this is a high-yielding barley variety developed by the Myronivsk Institute of Wheat named after V.M. Remesla of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine and registered in the State Register of Plant Varieties suitable for distribution in Ukraine based on results of the state variety testing (2012–2015). The variety is characterized by a medium-maturing period from emergence to heading (55–58 days) and medium height of plants (70–88 cm). High yield is confirmed by a maximum yield of 8.44 t/ha under seeding rate of 4 million/ha and fertilizer application N60P60K60, while the average yield during the competitive variety testing period is 4.44 t/ha, which is 0.47 t/ha higher than the standard variety Komandor, even under severe drought conditions of 2010–2011.

Talisman Myronivskyi is distinguished by high resistance to lodging (7–9 points) and shattering (9 points), ensuring yield retention during ripening and harvesting. In addition, it possesses good resistance to major barley diseases: powdery mildew (6–7 points), leaf spot (6–7 points), and dwarf bunt (7 points). Protein content in grain ranges from 10.4–11.0%, and extractability is 80.1%, making this variety suitable for various applications.

Due to its characteristics, Talisman Myronivskyi is widely used in brewing, feed, and food industries. The thousand-grain weight is 42.4–45.6 g, indicating grain quality and uniformity. This variety combines high productivity, adaptability to various climatic conditions, and disease resistance, making it a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality barley yield.
