This variety was developed and recommended for cultivation in various regions of Siberia, including the Irkutsk region, Krasnoyarsk Krai, as well as the Republics of Buryatia, Sakha (Yakutia), Tyva, and Khakasia. The variety's originator is the Federal State Budgetary Institution of Science, Siberian Federal Research Center for Agrobiotechnology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which guarantees high quality and adaptation to local climatic conditions.
Rye Zhikinskaya Mestnaya is distinguished by its high winter hardiness and resistance to lodging, which is particularly important for regions with harsh winters and variable weather conditions. The variety demonstrates stable productivity even under unfavorable hydro-thermal conditions, as confirmed by studies conducted in Eastern Siberia. The mass of 1000 grains of this variety is sufficiently high and stable, indicating the quality and uniformity of the seed material.
The use of the Zhikinskaya Mestnaya variety is aimed at obtaining high grain yields under Siberian climatic conditions. Due to its adaptability and resistance to stress factors, this variety is suitable for sowing in regions with various soil-climatic conditions. It ensures a reliable yield when recommended agrotechnical measures are followed, making it a profitable choice for agricultural producers seeking stable and high-quality grain production.
