The spring barley variety "Vladyka" is a medium-maturing and medium-height thin-husked barley with high quality characteristics. The vegetative period ranges from 68 to 80 days, with a 1000-grain mass varying between 30-39 grams. The grain is distinguished by high natural density — 440-510 g/l, and protein content ranges from 9.3 to 15.4%, making this variety valuable for various applications. The variety belongs to the cinerea group and is characterized by above-average resistance to lodging, which contributes to stable yields under various growing conditions.
"Vladyka" is susceptible to certain diseases, such as ergot, bacterial burn, and red-brown leaf spot, therefore requiring careful agronomic management and timely plant protection. Thanks to its strong and well-leafed straw, this barley has good resistance to lodging, which facilitates harvesting and reduces yield losses. The head is large and semi-closed, the glume is of medium size with clearly expressed nervation, and the awns are short and weakly developed, reducing the risk of grain damage.
The variety "Vladyka" is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including the Far Eastern, Northwestern, Central, and Middle Volga regions, demonstrating its adaptability to different climatic conditions. High protein content and increased filminess make it an excellent component for legume-cereal mixtures and forage crops. This barley is suitable for producing green mass and high-quality grain, ensuring its demand among agricultural producers.
