Oat Sapsan

A Reliable Choice for Stable Forage Production

The «Sapsan» oat variety, developed by the FSBSI Federal Agrarian Scientific Center of the North-East named after N.V. Rudnitsky, is designed for agricultural enterprises focused on building a consistent forage base. This variety has established itself as a reliable crop with predictable productivity under temperate climatic conditions. With standard agrotechnical practices, yields range from 40 to 50 centners per hectare, making it a valuable asset for livestock farming.

Agronomic Profile and Disease Resistance

«Sapsan» belongs to the mid-season maturity group with a growing cycle of 95 to 110 days. This duration allows for effective planning of harvesting logistics. For farm managers, the sanitary safety of the crop is a critical advantage:

• Pathogen Resistance: The variety is bred for high resistance to rust, which helps reduce the need for excessive fungicide applications.
• Disease Control: The variety demonstrates resilience against stem smut, ensuring the purity and quality of the grain at harvest.

Nutritional Value for Livestock

Targeted specifically for grain forage, «Sapsan» provides high-quality nutritional input for cattle, swine, and poultry diets:

• The thousand-kernel weight (TKW) ranges between 32 and 40 grams, ensuring well-filled grain.
• The protein content typically falls between 10% and 13%, providing a solid foundation for balanced animal feed formulations.

Integrating «Sapsan» into your crop rotation is a practical strategy for operations looking to lower livestock production costs through self-sufficiency in high-quality forage. The variety is easily adapted to local cultivation technologies and does not require complex or exotic environmental conditions, proving its efficiency in various agricultural zones of the North-East region and beyond.
