Spring barley of the MAGNIT variety is a mid-season grain-forage plant with high yield and resistance to various adverse factors. The plant is medium-sized, possesses high resistance to lodging and shattering, which contributes to crop preservation. The variety is characterized by good winter hardiness and the ability to withstand drought, as well as resistance to diseases such as dwarf rust, net and dark-brown blotch, and powdery mildew. The vegetative period is about 240-250 days, which allows the variety to be used in various climatic conditions, including the South-Foothill zone of Krasnodar Krai and the North-Caucasus region.
The grain of the MAGNIT variety is distinguished by its high protein content — from 10.4 to 17%, which makes it valuable for grain-forage purposes. The mass of 1000 grains varies within the range of 38-45 grams. Potential yield under favorable conditions and a good agro-basis can reach 80-95 centners per hectare, which significantly exceeds the average indicators in the region. For sowing, a recommended sowing rate of about 4 million seeds per hectare is advised, with fertilization and harvesting at a grain moisture content not exceeding 16-18%.
The MAGNIT variety differs in its universality of application and is adapted to various growing conditions. It forms good tillers when sown in February windows, as well as in late autumn and early spring seedlings. High resistance to powdery head and other diseases ensures crop stability. Due to its characteristics, the variety is recommended for cultivation in regions with various climatic conditions, making it an attractive choice for agricultural producers focused on obtaining quality grain and high yields.
