BARNAULKA

Siberian selection for high-quality green fodder

The Barnaulka vetch variety is the result of long-term collaboration between Russian scientists from the Siberian Federal Scientific Center of Agrobiotechnology and French breeders. This annual variety addresses the market need for a reliable crop capable of producing consistent green mass under challenging environmental conditions.

Unlike many niche varieties, Barnaulka stands out for its predictability. Its 70–90 day vegetation period allows for flexible integration into crop rotation schedules. Crucially, the variety features robust resistance to Ascochyta blight and bacterial leaf spot, significantly mitigating crop loss risks typically associated with legumes during high-humidity seasons.

Key agronomic indicators

• Crop type: Annual legume.
• Primary use: Green fodder production.
• Weight: 1000-seed weight ranges from 55 to 70 grams.
• Crop health: Strong genetic resistance to major legume pathogens.

The reputation of this variety is built on performance and reliability. Barnaulka serves as a professional tool for livestock farms focused on the self-sufficient production of high-protein silage and haylage. Due to its short maturation cycle, the variety efficiently utilizes soil moisture, making it an excellent choice for regions with a limited growing season.
