For every agronomist, what the harvest will be is of great importance. Its quality directly depends on the quality of the seed. It is logical to assume that if last year, a certain variety gave a good result, then this year you should buy the same one and you can expect an excellent harvest.
Many are interested in the question of how to choose grain seeds. And this is quite understandable, because the harvest and, accordingly, future earnings will depend on your choice. The seed catalog contains the best samples that satisfy all the needs of the modern agricultural sector.
Wheat is rightfully considered one of the most valuable and demanded crops in the world. This is not surprising. In addition to the large number of nutrients (gluten, protein, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium) that wheat contains, it is the main raw material in the manufacture of various food products. The most common is the production of flour, using the waste materials for animal feed. Wheat factors:
Sunflower can be safely called the main oilseed crop of our country. The rich lands accept sunflower seeds well, allowing domestic farmers to collect good harvests, selling them both within the country and far beyond its borders. It is not surprising that the demand for sunflower seeds is growing every year, because the high profitability of this crop attracts businessmen who are engaged in the cultivation and sale of sunflower seeds.
Corn is one of the most common crops in the world. In terms of popularity, this seed can be safely placed on a par with sunflower and wheat. What is the reason for this? First of all, the wide applicability of this culture—as well as in addition to its use within the country, the sowing culture is massively exported, providing our farmers with a good income.
It has a strong stem and root system.
The height of the attachment of the first yield is 110 – 115 cm (about 43 – 45 inches).
Has a high genetic potential for productivity due to a significant number of rows in a plot up to 20 rows.
The grain is tooth-like, large, the mass of 1000 seeds is up to 320 g. Differs in a high content of starch (68 – 70%) and protein (about 9%).
Tolerant to diseases (helminthosporiosis, fly smut) and pests (corn moth).
High adaptability to weather conditions.
Barley is a crop widely used in our country. It can be used both in the food sector and in agriculture, as feed for livestock. In addition, spring barley seeds are used in brewing, which makes this crop even more attractive.
In the food sector, grain is used for the manufacture of cereals (barley and pearl barley), as well as for coffee drinks.
It has a critical negative temperature in the tillering node: 13 C °.
Differs in a dense stalk stand.
Plant height: ~ 80 cm (2.62 feet); drought resistance: 8 points; resistance to shedding: 8 points.
Matures medium early (252 – 256 days).
Immune to smut diseases: resistance to powdery mildew: 6 points; to helminthosporiosis: 5 points.
Protein content: 11.5%.
Millet is the most important cereal crop and belongs to the group of grain breads. Highly nutritious cereals are made from its grain, which contains 12% protein, 3.5% fat, and has high-taste value. Millet also contains a large amount of starch; therefore, it is used for the production of alcohol. Millet is a waste-free crop. Unprocessed millet is used as a very valuable animal feed. The waste that is obtained during the processing of millet into cereals (tormented, husk) is also an excellent feed.
High-yielding (46 – 62).
Medium late growing season: 89 – 98 days.
Resistant to lodging.
Resistant to shedding.
Drought resistance is high.
Disease and pest resistance average.
Rape is an important oilseed crop that grows in suitable lands. This plant not only has an attractive appearance, but is also unique in its properties. Its seeds are used to make oil and even fuel material. Also, rapeseed is a good melliferous plant, from which beekeepers collect good harvests of honey. Interestingly, it is impossible to find this crop in the wild; it grows exclusively on agricultural land.
