The yield and grain quality of barley varieties in the northern forest steppe of the Tyumen region

Abstract

Barley is cultivated mainly for feed purposes in the Tyumen region. At the same time, there is a need to obtain brewing barley grain. This research is aimed at establishing the influence of elements of cultivation technology on the productivity of barley varieties and identifying the compliance of grain quality indicators with the established requirements. The studies were performed in three field experiments on the experimental field of the of the Northern Trans-Ural State Agricultural University in the northern forest-steppe of the Tyumen region in 2014 - 2016. In terms of the complex indicator – the collection of protein from a unit area – the Lamador Pro + Rostok variant stood out: for the Acha variety, this indicator was 612 kg/ha, for the Abalak variety - 646 kg/ha. The best indicators were obtained in the variant with the use of Hydromix complex for treating the seeds: for the Acha variety, the yield was 4.55 t/ha, for the Abalak variety - 4.62 t/ha, the protein content in the grain was 13.1 and 13.3%, respectively. In terms of yield, Omsky 85, Payjazz and Beatrice varieties surpassed the standard. The obtained research results are recommended for implementation at the enterprises of the agro-industrial complex of the Tyumen region.
