                        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.

                        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:

                                    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.

                    - 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.
