NS Zitos - nova sorta ozimog dvoredog ječma

At Institute of Field and Vegetable crops, plant breeders for a decade's are constantly developing new barley cultivars, which have better yield, quality and other agronomical traits then older barley varieties. At 2012 new winter malting barley cultivar NS Zitos was registered. The primary aim during creation of this variety was selection for barley quality, and to maintain yield and other agronomic traits at least at standard (control variety) level. Commission for the registration of varieties of Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, conducted trial at multiple locations in two year, and it was found that the variety NS Zitos was distinct, uniform and stable cultivar, and had yield at all locations and in all year at standard (control variety) level, and better technological quality. In both trial years NS Zitos, had grain yield over 11000 kg per hectare at location Novi Sad, which indicates that this variety has a high genetic yield potential. NS Zitos is medium early winter barley cultivar, which is characterized by good resistance to lodging, large seeds size and greater thousand kernel weight.U Institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo, oplemenjivači ječma decenijama razvijaju nove sorte koje ne samo da imaju viši prinos, već bolji kvalitet i druge agronomske osobine u odnosu na starije varijetete ječma. Iz ovog programa je 2012. godine priznata nova sorta ozimog dvoredog pivskog ječma pod nazivom NS Zitos. Primaran cilj prilikom stvaranje ove sorte je bila selekcija u cilju poboljšanja kvaliteta, uz zadržavanje prinosa i drugih agronomskih osobina najmanje na nivou standarda. U dvogodišnjim ogledima Komisije za priznavanje sorti, koji su izvedeni na više lokaliteta, utvrđeno je da je sorta NS Zitos, različita, uniformna i stabilna, kao da je u proseku za sve lokalitete i godine ispitivanja ostvarila prinos zrna koji je na nivou standarda, a boljeg tehnološkog kvaliteta. NS Zitos je ostvario prinos od preko 11000 kg ha-1 na lokalitetu Novi Sad u obe godine ispitivanje, što ukazuje da ova sorta ima visok genetički potencijal prinosa. NS Zitos je srednje rana sorta ozimog pivskog ječma koja se odlikuje dobrom otpornošću na poleganje, krupnim semenom i većom masom 1000 zrna
