GRUM

A reliable choice for forage and food processing

The «Grum» oat variety, developed through the collaboration of SamNЦ RAS and FIC «Nemchinovka», is designed for high-quality grain production in temperate climates. The hybrid's main strength lies in its versatility: it is equally effective for creating a balanced forage base in livestock farming and for the production of rolled oats.

Agronomic profile and productivity

«Grum» is classified as a mid-season crop with a growing cycle ranging from 95 to 110 days. This early maturity allows growers to flexibly plan their harvest campaign, minimizing the risk of adverse weather conditions during late summer.

• Yield: ranges from 3 to 5 tons per hectare, making it a reliable asset for farms with varying levels of intensity.
• Grain quality: the weight of 1000 grains varies between 32–40 grams. A high protein content (13%+) significantly increases the nutritional value of the product, which is particularly critical for the fodder oat segment.

Strengths and limitations

The key advantage of this variety is its high adaptability. Unlike highly specialized hybrids, «Grum» delivers consistent performance across different soil types. The stable chemical composition of the grain ensures it is well-suited for the food industry, yielding uniform flakes with excellent organoleptic properties. A potential limitation is the need for strict adherence to agricultural practices during drought periods, as reaching the 5-ton-per-hectare yield potential requires optimal moisture levels.

This variety is an optimal choice for agricultural enterprises seeking a balance between fodder efficiency and the ability to market a portion of the harvest for food purposes, ensuring steady returns with reasonable agronomic investment.
