QCrops & sowingWhich varieties are more resistant to drought and heat?
Expert answer
In short: Sow varieties tested in the region and 2–3 varieties of one crop to spread the risk.
| Crop | Climate-adapted varieties |
|---|---|
| Winter common wheat | Enola, Aglika, Pobeda, Dunavia, Fermer, Boryana, Ginra, Gizda, Nikibo, Bozhana, Dragana, Kristalina, Lazarka, Merilin, Pchelina, Rada, Fani |
| Durum wheat | Progres, Predel, Heliks, Saya, Reyadur |
| Winter two-row barley | Odisey, Sayra, Kuber, Lardeya, Orfey, Dariya, Zahir |
| Winter multi-row barley | Veslets, Aheloy 2, Zemela, Aleksan, IZ-Bori, Ahinora, Siela, Yuli Byan |
| Winter oats / rye | Oats: Kehlibar, Telerik, Hektor; rye: Bul Milenium |
| Spring barley | Yasmina (multi-row); Venera, Saveliya, Denis (two-row) |
| Maize (Knezha hybrids) | 310, 320, 435, 442, 461 (early); 560–683A (mid-late and late) |
The recommendation is to grow 2–3 varieties of one crop: that way one bad year or disease does not hit the whole output.
