EVALUATION OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF THE CEREAL CROP VARIETIES RESISTANT TO ABIOTIC FACTORS

Abstract

After evaluating the agro-biological and economic efficiency, as well as the resistance rate to the abiotic factors [4] in the eared cereal crop varieties bred in the research center for the Crop Gene Pool and Selection at the ANAU, we have also investigated their technological properties and efficiency indices. It has been found out that the multi-row barley variety “Araratyan” completely meets the requirements of beer production in terms of its chemical composition (proteins – 12.79%, mucilage – 2.85%, vitreousness – 56.25 %). Containing 13.81 % protein, the rye-wheat can be the best raw material for the combined feed production. Due to the high content of mucilage and proteins the spelt varieties are distinguished by high organoleptic properties and thrashing capacity. The mentioned varieties also provide high economic efficiency producing 250.1-426.2 thousand AMD profit per hectare in dry/rainfed conditions.
