Despina

DESPINA — a high-yielding spring barley variety known for its excellent brewing qualities. It is characterized by early emergence and stable grain formation, ensuring drought resistance and late sowing tolerance. The plant has high stature and low stem density, while thousand-grain weight and number of grains per ear are at a high level. The grain has high quality, and crude protein content ranges from 9.5 to 12.3%, making this variety especially attractive for the brewing industry. Due to its genetically low protein content, DESPINA grain is ideal for producing high-quality malt.

The variety exhibits high lodging resistance, which helps preserve yield under adverse weather conditions. Additionally, DESPINA shows high resistance to diseases such as powdery mildew, rust, and rhiñhosporiosis, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss and minimizing the need for frequent fungicide applications. These traits make it a reliable choice for cultivation in the Northwestern and Volga-Vyatka Federal Districts.

DESPINA is recommended for cultivation in conditions requiring early sowing and drought resistance. Thanks to its qualities, the variety is widely used in the brewing industry, including as a standard for some major companies. Its stable yield and adaptability to various climatic conditions ensure high economic efficiency for farmers.
