Nemchinovsky 61 is a medium-maturing variety of spring oats (Avena sativa L.) of naked-type, intended for grain and fodder use. The plant is characterized by high growth strength, reaching a height of 100 to 130 cm, with a semi-erect bush and a long two-sided head with a horizontal arrangement of branches. The vegetative period ranges from 81 to 95 days, ensuring timely ripening under various climatic conditions. The variety is resistant to lodging and powdery bunt, and demonstrates moderate resistance to crown rust and susceptibility to some diseases at a moderate level. Additionally, Nemchinovsky 61 shows resistance to DON toxin contamination, soil acidity, and aluminum toxicity, which expands the possibilities for its cultivation. The variety was bred by selection from a hybrid population involving domestic and foreign varieties, which ensured high adaptability and stable yield. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 26 to 36 grams, while grain natural density is 557-624 g/liter. The grain is distinguished by its high protein content (11.6-15.3 %), vegetable oil (5.7-7.1 %), starch (57.0-70.1 %) and crude fiber (7.9-9.5 %), making it valuable for both the food industry and compound feed production. High plant foliage allows the variety to be used for obtaining green mass, silage, and silage, expanding the scope of its application in agriculture. Nemchinovsky 61 is recommended for cultivation in various regions of Russia, including Kaluga, Kursk, Moscow, Ryazan and Yaroslavl regions, as well as the Northwestern, Central and Central Black Earth regions. The average yield of the variety reaches 23.1-32.3 c/ha depending on the region, confirming its high productivity. Thanks to its resistance to adverse factors and good grain quality, this variety is a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable and quality oat harvest.
