Spring barley of the OMSK BARLEY 1 variety is a bare-seed variety developed by the Omsk Agrarian Research Center. This variety belongs to agronomic seeds and is intended for cultivation in agriculture, especially in animal husbandry. Bare-seed barley differs from hulled barley by the absence of the hull, which provides a number of technological and culinary advantages.
The OMSK BARLEY 1 variety is characterized by high cereal qualities. Compared with hulled varieties, bare-seed varieties, including Omsk bare-seed 1, have higher grain nativity and overall flour yield, as well as reduced content of cracked flour and by-products. This makes it especially valuable for processing into flour, since the processing technology for bare-seed barley does not differ from that of hulled barley, but at the same time ensures a more quality product with less bran content and softer structure.
Studies show that on a number of indicators, such as grain thickness and vitreousness, the Omsk bare-seed 1 variety is at the level of the best foreign analogues. Its grain has optimal physicochemical properties, which makes this variety in demand for agricultural production and processing. Thus, OMSK BARLEY 1 is an effective and promising barley variety for the agricultural sector.
