Vienna

The spring barley variety Vienna is primarily intended for fodder use and is characterized by high yield and quality grain. The seeding rate is 3.5-4.0 million germinating seeds per hectare, with a potential yield reaching 80-85 centners per hectare. The grain is large, with a 1000-seed mass ranging from 41 to 53 grams and a test weight of approximately 700 g/l, indicating high density and quality. Protein content varies from 10.5 to 16.9%, providing good nutrition when used for feed purposes. Grain size exceeds 97%, which is an important indicator for quality assessment.

Vienna exhibits resistance to several diseases, including powdery mildew, dwarf rust, leaf spot, and rhiachosporiosis, ensuring stable yields and reducing the risk of losses. The variety is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including the Volga-Vyatka region and the Perm Krai, due to its versatility and adaptability. However, it is susceptible to dusty and stone smuts, as well as striped leaf spot, requiring attention during agronomic practices.

Additionally, barley Vienna is highly valued in the brewing industry for its organoleptic properties and is suitable for producing various styles of light and dark beer. The grain provides a malty-sweet flavor with subtle honey and nut notes, making it ideal for brewing golden beer and creating full-bodied beverages. The variety has high fermentative activity, and the malt color ranges from 6.0 to 9.0 EBC, enabling its use in a wide range of beer styles, including lager, ale, IPA, stout, and others.
