T 12

T 12 is a mid-season spring barley variety (Hordeum vulgare L.) characterized by valuable qualities and adapted for cultivation in the Predural and Zadural steppes. The vegetative period lasts from 68 to 82 days, allowing the variety to ripen slightly later than some analogues but earlier than others, ensuring flexibility in agrotechnical timing. The mass of 1000 grains varies from 46 to 55 grams, indicating good seed quality and yield potential. The variety belongs to the nutans type and demonstrates average yield of about 23.6 centners per hectare in recommended regions.

Barley T 12 is characterized by high yield due to ear length up to 29 cm and the number of grains per ear reaching 330 pieces, distributed in 14 rows. High germination (99%) and germination energy (99%) ensure excellent indicators during sowing, while seed purity reaches 100%. The sowing rate is 110-120 kg per hectare, which is optimal for achieving maximum productivity. Despite good indicators, the variety is susceptible to certain diseases such as powdery scab, helminthosporium, and root rots, which requires attention in agrotechnical measures.

T 12 possesses drought resistance at the level of standards, making it suitable for cultivation in variable climate conditions. Thanks to its characteristics, the variety is suitable for both food purposes and livestock feed. It demonstrates stable yield and adaptability to various soil-climatic conditions, making it a profitable choice for farmers seeking high-quality and high-yielding barley.
