Winter barley variety KH Viktor with excellent agronomic qualities
  • The problem to be solved:
    Productivity, logging resistance, disease resistance
  • Definition:
    KH Viktor is an early winter barley variety giving the highest yield. Its logging resistance is excellent and the winter hardness confirmed. It is very resistant against Helminthosporium sp. and against Erysiphe graminis.
  • Presentation:

    The variety is bred from breeding material of Kompolt in 100% (K-15 x K-4M-10). K-15 is an earlier candidate variety of Kompolt being under patent protection. The mutant stock K-4M-10 was produced under chronical gamma radiation with a 60Co ray source. The neocombinated new variety surpasses the parents in nearly all characteristics. Since its application in 1995 is the variety giving the highest yield with the best logging resistance. In the year of registration its three years average of yield – 7,18 t/ha- surpassed with 11,5% the average of standards (SZD 5% = 8,4%). The potential yield of the variety is of 12 t/ha.

    Considering the average of 1996-98 in the trials of the National Institute for Variety Registration (OMMI) was proven to be the cereal with the best productivity, surpassing all the wheat varieties too:

    • KH Viktor 7,18 t/ha
      Wheat varieties giving the highest yield:
      Early 6,93 t/ha
      Middle 6,87 t/ha
      Late 7,06 t/ha

    By the variety KH Viktor we realised an important progress by improving the logging resistance. In the trials of the NIVR (OMMI) was proven to be the variety with the best logging resistance. The value of 4,64 of its stamina is considered within the bests in the international comparisons too. Is very resistant against Helminthosporium andits Erysiple graminis resistance is better as the middle. The variety has an ideal short – middle stem height. One of its advantages is its early ripening. KH Viktor is ecostable and draught resistant. The grains are excellent feed.

  • Application:
    Agriculture
  • Advantages:
    The yield of this variety surpasses with 10% those of the standards. Due to its excellent stem and ear qualities the variety is not sensible for laying and endures well the overripening. Its resistance and ecostability assure excellent yield stability and the possibility for economical, environmental friendly production.
  • Stage of development:
    Year of state registration: 1998
    Already in the year of registration elite seed was produced and sold. The propagation of the variety is very rapid
  • Documentation available:
    Yes
