Bereginya

The winter rye variety 'Bereginya' is characterized by a medium-late maturity period and medium plant height, with a vegetative period ranging from 316 to 359 days. The rye exhibits high winter hardiness, ensuring reliable overwintering. The thousand-kernel weight varies from 25 to 36 grams. The variety is stable against lodging and drought at the level of the Falenskaya 4 variety, and moderately resistant to brown rust. However, it is susceptible to fusarium head blight and snow mold. The average yield of the variety in the region is approximately 25.7 centners per hectare, with a maximum yield up to 42.7 centners per hectare. A feature of the 'Bereginya' variety is its low content of water-soluble pentosans, which significantly improves grain quality for use as feed. Pentosans traditionally hinder the digestion of rye by animals, but due to the reduced content, this variety allows to increase feeding efficiency and improve livestock productivity. This makes 'Bereginya' an attractive choice for farmers aiming for economically profitable rye cultivation with improved feed properties. Rye 'Bereginya' is suitable for mechanized harvesting and is characterized by good agronomic characteristics. High winter hardiness and drought resistance ensure crop stability under various climatic conditions. Thanks to its qualities, the variety is widely used in agriculture for grain production, which can be used both in the food industry and in feed mixtures, contributing to improved product quality and economic efficiency of cultivation.
