OLENEK

Consistent Yields with Lower Operational Risks

The 'Olenek' spring barley variety is a go-to choice for agronomists who prioritize predictability. Developed by the Krasnoyarsk Research Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, this variety balances early maturity with substantial grain development. With a vegetation period of 80–90 days, it is specifically adapted to regions with shorter growing seasons, allowing producers to avoid late-summer droughts effectively.

Field Performance and Grain Quality

In terms of field management, Olenek is highly reliable. We observe a consistent 1000-kernel weight ranging from 42 to 50 grams. For the operator, this consistency is a significant advantage: it simplifies seeder calibration and ensures a uniform crop stand, which is crucial for efficient harvesting. The grain itself is full and high-quality, meeting the requirements of modern elevators without extra processing complications.

Disease Resistance and Efficiency

A major economic benefit of Olenek is its natural genetic resistance to stem smut. This helps minimize the need for heavy fungicide applications, reducing your overall cost per hectare. The variety is responsive to good agricultural practices but remains robust even under standard field management, making it a flexible asset for your crop rotation strategy.

• Vegetation Cycle: 80–90 days, making it ideal for high-risk climate zones.
• Seed Weight: Stable 42–50g/1000 seeds ensures high grain yield and commercial value.
• Durability: Strong resistance to stem smut reduces input costs for crop protection.

If you are looking for a variety that doesn't require complex maintenance and provides a predictable, high-volume yield, Olenek is a proven solution that pays off at harvest time.
