Duration of vegetation period is one of the main
adaptive traits for any crop or variety. Reasonability
of cultivation of a variety in a particular soil and
climate zone is determined by the duration of the
vegetative period. One of the aims of breeding is
the creation of the varieties with the main vegetative
phases lasting at more favorable climatic conditions.
The most accurate way to determine maturity
group of a variety is by estimation of starting
of heading phase, which can be defined with the
greatest precision. The article covers the analysis of
the duration of the vegetative period of the lines
and varieties of winter barley of local and foreign
selection in the central zone of Krasnodar region.
All the varieties were divided into three maturity
groups. The vegetative periods of the varieties were
studied during four years. The most favorable and
adverse conditions for yield formation were determined.
The interactions between the productivity of
the varieties depending on maturity group were
identified. The varieties of the early maturity group
which are more productive than the check were
selected, which is most valuable for the breeding of
the crop. The best varieties with the high and stable
yield and the positive traits are regularly involved
in the breeding programs with the porpoise of making
new varieties of the winter barley
Lodging resistant is a very important factor of limitation of the yield of barley. The yield of lodged crops may be decreased up to 50%. The quality of the yield also deteriorates which negatively affects brewery characteristics. The lodging resistance of a variety is determined genetically and depends on a plant height and weather conditions during dynamic vegetation. One of the main aims of breeding of the crop for lodging resistance is the selection of short-stem varieties. However, a thorough study of the basic material and determination of its adaptability to a particular soil and climatic zone and suitability of its usage as parental forms are needed. The article covers the plant height of collection varieties of winter barley in the central zone of Krasnodar region and determines the groups of the varieties based on this trait. The dynamic of plant height formation depending on the vegetative conditions during five years is studied. The examination of lodging resistance of winter barley revealed that there are many non-lodging forms of the crop. New local varieties and lines have short and strong culms. Also, some varieties from Western Europe and the USA show its good lodging resistance under these conditions
