Oat Legion Nosiivskyi

Technical Profile and Morphology

The «Lehin Nosivskyi» oat variety, developed by the Nosivka Selection and Research Station, is a specialized cultivar designed for stable grain production. Reaching a height of 90–100 cm, the plant maintains an efficient vegetative-to-generative biomass ratio, ensuring high yields of 40–50 centners per hectare under intensive agricultural conditions.

Phytosanitary Resistance

A key technical feature of this variety is its genetically encoded resistance to major pathogens that typically threaten grain quality and output. The selection process prioritized mitigating susceptibility to the following diseases:

• Covered smut (Ustilago segetum);
• Stem rust (Puccinia graminis);
• Powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis).

This inherent resistance significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, making it an excellent choice for low-input or organic production models.

Agronomic and Processing Metrics

Classified as a mid-season variety (95–110 days), «Lehin Nosivskyi» provides predictable maturity, facilitating efficient harvest logistics. The Thousand Kernel Weight (TKW) of 32–36 g, paired with a protein content of 12–13%, meets the specific requirements of the processing industry, particularly for oat groat and healthy food product manufacturing. Furthermore, the variety exhibits high resistance to shattering, ensuring minimal yield losses during mechanized harvesting, even under fluctuating weather conditions at maturity.
