Spring oats of the 'Altay Large-Grained' variety are a grain-fodder crop intended for cultivation in various regions, including Western Siberia and the Far East. This medium-maturing variety is characterized by a vegetative period of 72 to 91 days and high resistance to lodging, which ensures harvest stability. The weight of a thousand grains ranges from 35 to 45 grams, while protein content reaches 14.6-15.6%, making it valuable for fodder purposes. The variety's shelling is high – about 28-30%, and the grain nativity is 450-510 g/l, indicating good raw material quality.
The plant has a semi-erect bush of medium length and is distinguished by resistance to grain shedding, which facilitates harvest collection and reduces losses. Under field conditions, the variety's yield reaches 26-30 centners per hectare, and in some regions, for example, in the Far East, it can reach 37.6 c/ha. Thanks to these characteristics, 'Altay Large-Grained' is a reliable choice for agricultural producers focused on obtaining high-quality grain for fodder needs.
As a crop, oats have a powerful tufted root system capable of penetrating deep into the soil, which contributes to its stability and adaptation to various growing conditions. In addition to fodder use, oats are widely used in the food industry, medicine, and cosmetology. In the Altai Krai, where this variety is grown, oats play an important role in crop rotation, improving soil fertility and ensuring high yields. 'Altay Large-Grained' is one of the popular varieties in the region, which combines high productivity and resistance to adverse factors.
