Thuringia

Stable yields of spring barley: German breeding excellence

The «Thuringia» barley variety from the German breeding giant Saaten-Union is the choice for farmers aiming for high-quality grain with predictable metrics. The two-row ear type and precise genetics allow for effective use in both feed production and processing industries, with a nitrogen content in the dry matter of 10.5%.

Agronomic reliability and phytosanitary control

The primary practical value of «Thuringia» lies in its resistance to the most common pathogens that reduce crop profitability year after year. The variety demonstrates high field resistance to:

• Helminthosporiosis;
• Various types of rust, with specific resistance to yellow rust;
• Powdery mildew.

This significantly reduces costs for fungicide applications: in farms with well-established crop protection protocols, «Thuringia» allows for a reduction in the number of sprayings while maintaining high yield potential.

On-farm application scenarios

Choosing this variety is justified in regions with moderate climates where the risks of epiphytotics are elevated. As a product of collaboration between reputable originators (W. von Borries-Eckendorf and partners), the seed material possesses high germination energy and uniform emergence. This is critical for establishing optimal stand density—the foundation of a successful harvest. Under intensive farming conditions, the variety responds consistently to fertilization, efficiently converting nitrogen inputs into high-quality grain.
