STRIGUNOK is a mid-season variety of spring oats (Avena sativa L.), mainly intended for grain and fodder use. It is characterized by medium height and lodging resistance, ensuring stable yield. The average yield of the variety is about 27.5 c/ha, while record figures reach 61.9 c/ha. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 32 to 45.6 grams, indicating large grain size and high grain quality. The variety belongs to the mutica type and possesses immunity to powdery mildew, but is moderately susceptible to bacterial blight and highly susceptible to crown and stem rust. STRIGUNOK belongs to the glabrous oat varieties; its ears are covered with long scales and a thick waxy coating, which contributes to grain protection. The vegetation period is about 80 days, allowing the variety to be used in various climatic conditions. Yield can reach up to 60 c/ha, making it attractive for agricultural production. Oats of this variety are grown primarily for fodder purposes, providing high nutritional value for animals. Oats as a crop are characterized by moisture-loving properties and lack of demand for heat, allowing them to be grown in various regions. The STRIGUNOK variety is recommended for early spring sowing in rows with a seeding rate of 1.8–2.0 c/ha and a sowing depth of 4–5 cm. Oat grains contain a significant amount of protein, starch, fat, fiber, and minerals, making them a valuable feed and raw material for processing into groats and flour. Straw and green mass of oats are used in feed mixes with other crops, such as vetch or peas, which increases their nutritional value.
