MID-VOLGA 98

Reliability and Phytosanitary Resilience in Crop Rotation

The «Srednevolzhskaya 98» vetch variety is a product of scientific breeding from the Samara Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Developed by breeders Maria Khudenko and Andrey Sanin, this variety has established itself as a staple in the feed crop market, specifically optimized for regional climatic fluctuations.

Key Technical Parameters

With a vegetation period spanning 110–130 days, the variety offers the flexibility required for farms utilizing both monocultures and mixed agro-phytocenoses (such as vetch-oat or vetch-barley mixtures). The breeders prioritized both biomass yields and resistance to key pathogens that typically impact legumes.

Pathological Profile

One of the primary advantages of «Srednevolzhskaya 98» is its genetically determined resistance to wheat leaf rust and powdery mildew. In high-humidity conditions, where fungal pressure often limits yield potential, this variety effectively retains its leaf surface area, which is vital for the optimal filling of seeds.

• Type: Vetch variety.
• Origin: Russia, Samara Research Center (RAS).
• Biological trait: 110–130 day growing season.
• Main benefit: High tolerance to rust and powdery mildew.

The reputation of this variety is built on consistency. For agronomists, «Srednevolzhskaya 98» represents a reliable choice; even under significant infectious pressure, it maintains stable quality parameters, making it an essential component for livestock feed production.
