Sinanbey Barley Seed
Two-row winter feed barley selected for fully dry rainfed land. 350-680 kg/da rainfed; not recommended under irrigation. Thousand-grain weight 41-48 g; a Turkish national variety.
Sinanbey is a two-row winter feed barley selected for fully dry rainfed land. It was registered in 2021 in the name of the Field Crops Central Research Institute and is a Turkish national variety; Granar Tarım produces the certified seed.
Why dryland
In the drought-tolerance ranking carried out at the Konya Drought Test Centre it placed among the top varieties. Drought tolerance is high because that was the selection criterion.
Under rainfed conditions it yields 350-680 kg per decare. The range is that wide not because the variety is erratic but because dryland is: the same variety can double its output depending on winter rainfall.
It is not recommended under irrigation. For irrigated or bottomland fields, Manava in the same group is the better choice.
How it behaves in the field
The ears are awned and the plant stands 90-100 cm. Lodging and cold tolerance are good and it holds up against disease.
Heading is late. A late-heading variety uses spring rain for longer, but is more exposed to a late heat spell. That trade-off is exactly why it is chosen on dryland fields with reliable winter and spring rain.
Grain and quality
Thousand-grain weight is 41-48 g; it is a very large-grained variety. Test weight 62-70 kg/hl, protein 13-15%, screenings above 2.5-2.8 mm 57-78%. Feed quality.
Sowing and yield
We recommend 25-30 kg per decare rainfed; yield runs 350-680 kg/da. Not recommended under irrigation.
Seed is supplied as Basic/Pre-basic class in 50 kg bags. For an early variety in the same group see Manava, for a six-row type see Ramata. Call us for prices and availability.
