The A. I. Baraev Grain Farming Center is working on the breeding of bare oats, which has already established itself as a promising grain and food crop.In Kazakhstan, from 200 to 240 thousand hectares of oats are cultivated annually, with gross harvests of 280-335 thousand tons. This number includes both filmy and newly zoned bare-grain varieties.Currently, only filmy varieties of oats are actively used in Kazakhstan. A.I. Baraev NPCKH LLP continues breeding experiments with nudibranch forms, the purpose of which is to create new highly effective hybrids.In 2023, a new naked variety of spring oats was transferred to the State Commission for Variety Testing of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This achievement was the result of careful hybridization work, during which a variety with high agronomic characteristics, including resistance to lodging and drought, was created. The growing season of the new variety is only 76-82 days, and the crude protein content ranges from 17.38%, which is higher than the established standard.It is assumed that further breeding of naked oats will not only increase the production of this crop, but also increase its attractiveness to consumers due to improved nutritional qualities.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/906515
