The "Barnaulka" variety belongs to spring vetch (Vicia sativa L.) and is a medium-maturing variety with plant heights ranging from 60 to 135 cm, depending on growing conditions. Plants have a branched structure, usually with two to three stems, and compound leaves consisting of 6–8 pairs of leaflets with oblong leaves and a notched apex. Inflorescences are short axillary racemes of two to three flowers, colored lilac-purple.
The yield of this variety exceeds standard indicators: dry matter reaches 0.23 t/ha, and green mass – 1.5 t/ha. Protein content exceeds norms by 1.4%, making "Barnaulka" a valuable source of nutrients for fodder and food purposes. The weight of 1000 seeds ranges from 60 to 74 grams, with an average seed weight of about 69 g. Seeds are round, dark gray-brown in color with distinct marbling.
The variety shows moderate resistance to pathogens: it is weakly to moderately affected by ascochitosis and weakly by bacterial blight. Additionally, "Barnaulka" withstands spring frosts well and has a short growing season (75–85 days), which allows reducing cultivation periods compared to the standard variety "Omnichka". Seeds are sold in 50 kg bags or big-bags, with a full package of documents and certificates confirming varietal purity and compliance with GOST requirements.
Thus, "Barnaulka" represents a highly effective sowing material for spring vetch with excellent agronomic characteristics, high protein content, and resistance to major diseases. This makes it a sought-after choice for both agricultural enterprises and farmers seeking to increase yield and product quality.
