Study of the prospective varieties of barley in the conditions of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan

The solution of the problem of fodder and food vegetable protein in the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan is an urgent task. One of the most important sources for solving this problem is the study of various barley varieties. The purpose of the selection work of the Grain, Legumes and Technical Cultures laboratory of the Institute of Bioresources of the Nakhchivan Branch of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences is the creation of a mutually complementary set of adapted varieties for the autonomous republic. During the years 2017-18, we studied 106 variety specimens, belonging to two species - a multi-row (63 variety specimens) or ordinary ( Hordeum vulgare L. (1753)), two-row (43 variety specimens) ( H. distichon L., 1753). The standards were the Nakhchivandani (Pallidum-310/1) multi-row variety and the two-row Karabakh-7 that were placed through every 10 plots. Phenological observations, accounting and analysis of the elements of the structure of the harvest were carried out, guided by modern methods.
