Barley Viola

The Viola barley variety is a highly efficient winter crop possessing a range of key agronomic traits that meet modern agricultural requirements. It is characterized by early heading and ripening, which helps avoid the negative effects of high temperatures during grain filling, especially in southern regions. As a result, it produces grain with high thousand-grain weight and excellent quality, contributing to stable and high yields.

Viola exhibits high resistance to lodging, as well as strong stems and spikes, making cultivation more technologically feasible and reducing yield losses. Genetic resistance to barley yellow mosaic virus type 1 (BAYMV-1) provides additional protection for plants during both autumn and spring periods, enhancing the crop's reliability under various climatic conditions.

For sowing the Viola variety, recommended seeding rates vary depending on sowing time and soil fertility: 280–300 seeds per square meter for early sowing on fertile soils, up to 330–350 seeds for late sowing on less fertile soils. The variety was developed based on the experience of breeders from Belarus, Germany, and Poland, confirming its adaptability and high agronomic performance.
