Spring barley Perun is a high-yielding variety characterized by early and uniform grain and straw maturity. This variety has a medium-early water withdrawal period and harmonious ripening, ensuring stable yields even with late sowing. Perun is suitable for cultivation on various soil types, including poor soils, and is recommended for forest-steppe and meadow-steppe regions. The seeding rate is 4.5 to 5 million seeds per hectare, promoting optimal plant development and achieving high potential yields of up to 7 tons per hectare.
The Perun variety exhibits high resistance to major barley diseases, including powdery mildew, crown rust, and hard soot, with resistance ratings of 9 and 8 respectively. Additionally, barley demonstrates high drought tolerance, making it a reliable choice under water-deficient conditions. Protein content in the grain reaches 12%, and thousand-grain weight is 39 grams, indicating high product quality.
For storage, barley seeds of Perun should be kept at a temperature range of +7 to +10 °C and humidity not exceeding 10%, ensuring seed viability and quality. Due to its morpho-biological characteristics and resistance to adverse factors, this barley variety is an excellent choice for agricultural producers seeking stable and high-quality yields.
