ZADEL

Genetics and Origins of «Zadel» Winter Barley

The winter barley variety «Zadel» is the result of international collaboration, combining the production expertise of the Russian brand FANCA with the rigorous breeding standards of French genetics (originator: Av Du Capitaine N Tchorere, Airaines, France). This synergy has produced a variety tailored to harsh climatic conditions while maintaining the high grain quality benchmarks characteristic of European breeding programs.

Agronomic Potential and Specifications

The six-row head type is the defining feature of «Zadel», ensuring high and stable yields. Under intensive farming management, the variety shows excellent response to field inputs. Of particular note are the grain quality metrics: the thousand-kernel weight (TKW) ranges between 48 and 50 grams, indicating large, well-filled grains. With a nitrogen content of 12% in the dry matter, this variety is highly sought after for both feed production and the food industry.

• Plant Type: Winter barley with strong winter-hardiness characteristics.
• Ear Type: Six-row, significantly enhancing productive potential per unit area.
• Grain Quality: High test weight and an optimal nitrogen content (12%).

The reputation of «Zadel» is built on reliability. For agricultural producers, it serves as a risk-mitigation tool that successfully bridges the gap between cold-weather resilience and high spring vigor. By utilizing this variety, farmers can effectively capitalize on soil fertility while minimizing losses during periods of adverse weather conditions.
