NOVOSIBIRSKY 5

NOVOSIBIRSKY 5 is a medium-early spring barley oat (Avena sativa L.) variety intended for cultivation in the Western Siberia region. The plant is of medium height, with a semi-erect bush and a two-sided panicle with horizontally positioned branches. The spikelets droop, the grain is large, and the weight of 1000 grains ranges from 33-44 g. The variety is characterized by high bran content in the grain—approximately 27.6-31%, making it valuable for grain-feed use. The vegetative period is 67-81 days, allowing it to mature simultaneously with the Megion variety and slightly earlier than other standard varieties.

NOVOSIBIRSKY 5 is distinguished by high resistance to powdery mildew and moderate susceptibility to crown rust. It also possesses medium drought resistance and lodging resistance, falling behind some standard varieties by 1-2 points. The protein content in the grain varies from 9.1 to 13.5%, and the grain natural weight is in the range of 450-560 g/l, indicating high raw material quality. The maximum yield of the variety in the region reaches 71.1 c/ha, with an average yield of about 28 c/ha, confirming its productivity and adaptation to the region's climatic conditions.

The variety is recommended for cultivation in the Lowland Subtaiga and Foreshore Subtaiga zones of the Novosibirsk region. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and grain quality, NOVOSIBIRSKY 5 is a reliable choice for agricultural enterprises focused on obtaining high-quality oat grain with good yield and resistance to major diseases.
