Productivity and Protein Content in Barley Variety Grains In Northern Trans-Ural Region

Abstract

The study was conducted in 2014-2016 in the northern forest-steppe area of Tyumen region. During the study of malting barley variety in two mineral fertilizer grounds the most productive grades were Omsky 85 and Beatrice. Their productivity in enhanced fertilizing ground made 5.98 and 5.84 t/ha respectively. The protein content in grains of the studied grades satisfied the GOST requirements for malting barley. The treatment of seeds and plants of barley grades with microfertilizers provided for their productivity growth. The Acha grade showed the maximum productivity when seeds were treated with Gidromix microfertilizers (4.55 t/ha), the Abalak grade-when seeds were treated with Gidromix and plants with Master complex up to the booting stage (4.72 t/ha). The use of microfertilizers ensured substantial increase of protein yield per unit area. As a result of studying the influence of barley seed treatment with fungicides and growth regulators it was found that the Abalak grade was more receptive than the Acha grade. The Acha grade showed the maximum productivity when seeds were treated with Lamador fungicide and Rostok stimulator-4.50 t/ha, and the Abalak grade-when seeds were treated with Mival-Agro stimulator-4.60 t/ha. The protein content in barley grains was quite high-13.2-14.7%, which meets the P 53900-2010 GOST requirements to feeding barley of the first class.

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

“…The problem of creating highly productive barley varieties for the intended use and the development of effective technologies for their cultivation was described in several works by the scientists (5,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). As a promising technique, presowing treatment of wheat and barley seeds with fungicides together with growth regulators and stimulants was considered.…”
