The Arga winter rye variety is intended for cultivation in the East Siberian and West Siberian regions, including Krasnoyarsk Krai. This mid-late variety was created through experimental polyploidy and is characterized by high winter hardiness, medium frost resistance, and resistance to lodging and drought. Due to these qualities, Arga is well adapted to the harsh climatic conditions of the region.
Arga is intended for grain-fodder use, characterized by a high grain yield, reaching an average of 24.3 c/ha and a maximum of 72.2 c/ha. The variety contains a low amount of water-soluble pentosans, which positively affects grain quality. It is sown mainly on black fallows with the application of coulter plowing, which contributes to optimal plant development and increased productivity.
In addition to the grain direction, the Arga variety is used for early green fodder production. Studies have shown that the green mass of this variety has high nutritional value, making it universal in agriculture of the region. Green fodder preparation dates are selected to maximize preservation of the plant's nutritional properties, which contributes to effective livestock feeding.
