Novosadski 737 and Nonius: New varieties of winter forage barley

Abstract

The paper describes the characteristics of two new varieties of six-rowed winter barley, Novosadski 737 and Nonius, developed at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad. In the official variety trials in Serbia, Novosadski 737 and Nonius outyielded the standard variety Novosadski 313 by 508 and 396 kg/ha, respectively. Both varieties matured four days earlier than the standard and had large grains with a protein content of over 12%. Novosadski 737 is recommended for cultivation on poorer soils, while Nonius is particularly suitable for moderately fertile soils.

U radu su prikazane osobine dve nove sorte ozimog šestoredog ječma Novosadski 737 i Nonius koje su stvorene u Institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo Novi Sad. U ogledima državne Komisije za priznavanje sorti prinos sorte Novosadski 737 bio je veći 508 kg/ha, a sorte Nonius 396 kg/ha u odnosu na standard Novosadski 313. Obe novopriznate sorte bile su ranozrelije 4 dana od standarda. Sorte imaju krupno zrno sa sadržajem proteina iznad 12%. Novosadski 737 preporučuje se za gajenje na siromašnijim zemljištima a Nonius na zemljištima umerene plodnosti.
