Winter barley

Influence of Albit on winter barley was examined in 4 field trials in Krasnodar Krai. The Trials were carried out in 2003 and 2004 on barley varieties Mikhaylo, Khutorok, and Pavel by Chapaev breeding farm OSC, Yug Agrobisnes LLC, and Kuban experimental breeding farm.

In the trials, treatment with Albit increased yield of winter barley by 8.1-15 centners/hectare over control (averagely by 10.7 centners/hectare or 21.6%). Thus, winter barley gave one of the highest relative yield increases in response to Albit treatment among all tested crops. High efficiency of Albit application on winter barley might be due to its high original productivity (44-56 centners/hectare). Therefore, although average yield increase due to application of Albit on spring barley is considerably lower (just 3.9 centners/hectare), the relative yield increases for both cultures are approximately the same (18.2 and 21.6%). This fact testifies to ability of Albit to reveal productive potential of both kinds of barley equally efficiently.

Also, the formulation is effective against root rots of winter barley. Besides yield increase and control of diseases, Albit increases germination and germination power, accelerates changes of phenological phases, increases height of plants, stem density, total and productive tillering, ear length, number and weight of seeds, decreases ear emptiness. Application recommendations of Albit for winter barley generally corresponds to that for winter wheat.
