Rapid assessment of main agronomic indicators in the grain of winter and spring forms of triticale using infrared spectroscopy

Background. Calibration models were developed for rapid assessment of crucial agronomic indicators in the grain of winter and spring triticale from the VIR collection using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). These calibration models will enable users to find the most optimal utilization trends for individual triticale accessions. Materials and methods. Indicators of agronomic value (coloration, moisture, and the content of ash, protein, starch, amylose and fiber) were studied on a set of 32 grain samples collected from winter and spring triticale forms (Triticosecale Wittm. & A. Camus) reproduced in 2021–2022 at the Dagestan Experiment Station, a branch of the N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR). Calibration models for the assessment of the said agronomic characters in triticale grain were developed on the platform of the MATRIX-I IR analyzer (Bruker Optics, Germany) and based on the values obtained by classical methods of biochemical analysis adopted at VIR. Results. Reliability of the calibration models was tested on a randomized batch of triticale grain samples: the results of the new calibrations were compared with those of the conventional biochemical analysis. This verification showed that the data obtained through the use of calibration curves were reliable for protein and ash content, while other models required further improvement. Conclusion. Calibration models for measuring protein and ash content developed on the basis of the MATRIX-I IR analyzer can be used to perform rapid assessment of the winter and spring triticale grain. This method makes it possible to accelerate the process of obtaining crop characteristics for a number of basic agronomic characters and preserve valuable breeding material.

Эффективность протравливания семян тритикале препаратами защитного действия в Приамурье

Abstract. The purpose is to establish a productive seed disinfectant for spring triticale varieties with a protective and stimulating effect. During field experiments methods were used that tested pesticides and determined the economic efficiency of using research results in agriculture. The relevance and national and economic significance of the development is determined by farmers’ demand in the extreme conditions of the Far East to increase the efficiency of treating triticale seeds, identifying protective agrochemicals against a complex of diseases that help to improve biological and economic indicators when cultivating triticale. The scientific novelty of research is associated with the establishment of effective agrochemicals to protect seedlings from pathogens of the genus Fusarium and reduce grain losses of spring triticale varieties in years of different meteorological conditions. Results. Biological effectiveness of agrochemicals against fungal diseases Fusarium spp., Alternaria spp. and B. sorokiniana was revealed in laboratory conditions. High biological effectiveness was reveled for “Maxim”, average – for “Kinto Duo” and low – for “Inshur Perform”. The greatest effect from treating seeds with agrochemicals was in Ukro variety, followed by Karmen and Yarilo. Significantly high effectiveness of agrochemicals “Maxim” and “Kinto Duo” against strains of fungi from the genus Fusarium in field conditions was revealed on seedlings of Ukro and Yarilo varieties. The prevalence of diseases in triticale seedlings depended by 24.1 % on year conditions, by 7.7 % on genotype and by 42.3 % on agrochemicals. Fungicidal seed disinfectants “Kinto Duo” and “Maxim” (2 l/t) confirmed the effect declared by the manufacturers and statistically significantly surpassed the seed disinfectant “Inshur Perform” (0.5 l/t) in biological effectiveness and positive effect on grain yield of triticale varieties. They contributed to obtain grain yields that significantly exceeded the control level by 0.3 and 0.33 t/ha. Their conditionally net income in comparison with the option without a fungicides reached +3298.8 and +2314.1 rubles/ha, respectively.

VEGETABLE BEAN IN POLYCROPPING

Purpose. To scientifically justify the influence of protection systems (biological, chemical) on the growth and development of bean plants in strip cropping. Methods. Field, statistical. Results. To create a polycrop agrogroup, strips that were multiples of the rig width (for example, 2.8 m, 4.2 m, 5.6 m, etc.) were formed. Solid-planted companion crops (spiked cereals [for example, winter triticale – the most optimal forecrop for bean]) were grown in alkalized strips, and bean was grown in non-alkalized strips. Crops were rotated by periodic alternating alkalized and non-alkalized strips. A clear pattern was revealed: the farther bean plants from the companion crops (70 cm, 140 cm, 210 cm) were, the taller they were: when sown with winter triticale, their height increased from 57 cm to 59 cm; when sown with spring triticale, it increased from 54 cm to 58 cm. On average for two years, a clear similar trend was observed for bush width: the farther bean plants from the companion crops (70 cm, 140 cm, 210 cm) were, the wider bean bush became: when sown with winter triticale, the bush width increased from 55 cm up to 59 cm; when sown with spring triticale, it increased from 54 cm to 57 cm. The farther bean rows from the companion crops were, the fewer nodules per plant formed: when the bean was sown with winter triticale, the nodule number decreased from 110/plant to 95/plant; when it was sown with spring triticale, this parameter decreased from 68/plant to 53/plant. In 2022, the bean sown with winter triticale as a predecessor and companion crop in the strip cropping was least affected by Alternaria leaf spot (5–9%); when the bean was sown with spring triticale as a companion crop, the Alternaria leaf spot prevalence ranged from 11 to 13%. In 2023, with winter triticale as a companion crop and predecessor, the bean anthracnose prevalence was 13–20%; in the other variants, it amounted to 35–40%. Conclusions. Strip cropping, in particular with vegetable bean, is a promising trend in organic farming. The farther bean plants from the companion crops (70 cm, 140 cm, 210 cm) were, the taller they were and the wider bean bushes became, but the number of nitrogen-fixing nodules, on the contrary, decreased. The biological regimen of plant protection restrained the Alternaria leaf spot and bean anthracnose development on bean plants where winter triticale was a companion crop and forecrop.

The Effects of Intercropping Narrowleaf Lupine with Cereals under Variable Mineral Nitrogen Fertilization

Intercropping of legumes and cereals can bring many benefits to agriculture, including an increase in yield and the quality of the crops obtained. In addition, it is possible to reduce mineral fertilization, which can have a positive impact on the environment. The aim of the field research conducted in 2021–2023 in central Poland was to evaluate the yields obtained, the content and yield of total protein and the value of land equivalent ratio in the intercropping of narrowleaf lupine with cereals at different seeding levels of components and variable mineral nitrogen fertilization. The following factors were tested: 1—share of components in the sowing: narrowleaf lupine (NL) 120 seeds m−2; spring barley (SB) 300 seeds m−2; M1—NL 30 + SB 225 seeds m−2; M2—NL 60 + SB 150 seeds m−2; M3—NL 90 + SB 75 seeds m−2; spring triticale (ST) 450 seeds m−2; M4—NL 30 + ST 340 seeds m−2; M5—NL 60 + ST 225 seeds m−2; M6—NL 90 + ST 115 seeds m−2; 2—mineral fertilization with nitrogen 0, 20, 40, 60 kg N ha−1. The most favorable results were obtained with mixtures containing 60 + 150 seeds m2 of narrowleaf lupine + spring barley and 90 + 115 seeds m−2 of narrowleaf lupine + spring triticale. In addition, the favorable results and the lack of significant differences at fertilization of 40 and 60 kg N ha−1 show the possibility of a limited dose of mineral nitrogen fertilization. Sowing narrowleaf lupine with spring barley at a ratio of 60 + 150 seeds m2 or with spring triticale at a ratio of 90 + 115 seeds m−2 and fertilizing with 40 kg N ha−1 can be recommended for agricultural practice. The proposed management technique ensures high yields of good quality and thus can be an interesting solution for sustainable cultivation and be successfully implemented on farms.

The effect of different doses of ammonium nitrate on the yield and protein content in spring triticale grain

The article presents the results of studying the effect of various doses of ammonium nitrate on the yield and protein content in spring triticale grain. Numerous studies around the world have established that nitrogen is a key factor influencing the productivity of grain crops. The paper presents the results of a 5-year study (2018-2022) of cultivating spring triticale using fallow and stubble predecessors. Nitrogen fertilizer was applied when sowing in rows at a dose of 20 to 80 kg/ha in the active substance. The experiments were carried out in the Akmola region (LLP "SPCGF named after A. Barayev") on southern carbonate chernozem. Over the five years of research, only 2018 was characterized by optimal hydrothermal conditions during the triticale growing season, the remaining four years (2019-2022) were dry. The reserves of productive moisture in the meter layer of soil before sowing triticale in fallow were 119-138 mm, in stubble - 119-125 mm. The content of N-NO3 in the soil layer 0-40 cm before sowing triticale varied according to the years of research, so for fallow it varied from 11 to 28 mg/kg, and for stubble from 10 to 17 mg/kg of soil. The amount of P2O5 before sowing (in the soil layer of 0-20 cm), regardless of the predecessor, varied within 24-37 mg/kg of soil. It was not possible to establish a reliable effect of different doses of ammonium nitrate on grain yield and protein content in triticale grain using the two studied precursors. A strong correlation between the dose of nitrogen fertilizer and the yield of triticale based on the steam predecessor was established only in 2020 (r = 0.85) and in 2021 (r = 0.83). For stubble, a strong positive correlation between nitrogen doses and yield was noted in 2019 (r = 0.78), 2021 (r = 0.79) and 2022 (r = 0.87). A correlation between the protein content in triticale grain and nitrogen doses was established based on the fallow in 2 of 4 years (r = 0.86...0.96). For the stubble, a strong positive relationship was noted in all years of research (r = 0.83...0.99).

Powdery midlew is a dangerous disease of spring triticale in the far east

The studies were carried out in 2015–2022. in order to determine the degree of damage to collection samples of spring triticale by powdery mildew in the soil and climatic conditions of the Khabarovsk Territory of the Far East. The object of research is 84 samples of various ecological and geographical origins. The weather conditions during the research period were contrasting; with the normal precipitation for April–August being 466 mm, the excess was 16…263 mm; waterlogging contributed to an increase in relative air humidity to 100 %. The soil of the experimental plot is heavy loamy meadow-brown podzolized-gley. The distribution (R) of powdery mildew in triticale crops was high (80…100 %), the intensity of development (P) reached epiphytotic values annually. Collection varieties of spring triticale were distributed according to the intensity of disease development: moderately susceptible (13 samples), susceptible (35 samples), highly susceptible (36 samples). High correlation coefficients were calculated between the amount of precipitation in the booting-earing phase and the degree of infection of plants with powdery mildew (r = 0.861…0.897), and a linear regression equation was compiled that shows the dependence of the intensity of development of the powdery mildew pathogen and the amount of precipitation in the second ten days of June. Thus, spring triticale varieties were identified that have average susceptibility to powdery mildew pathogens (P = 30…40 %): Amore, Saur, Prag 409, Dagvo (Russia), Lana, Lotos (Belarus), Zgurivskiy, Oberig Kharkovskiy (Ukraine), 70 HN 458 (Canada), Je 57 (USA), Anoas 5, MX 51 (Mexico), Tleridal (Switzerland).

Assessment of the resistance to lodging of spring triticale based on the study of physical and mechanical properties

The results of the study of architectonics and physical and mechanical properties of the stems of selective forms of spring hexaploid triticale of different ecological and geographical origin are presented. Traits of 19 collection and breeding samples from the collections of the N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) and the Siberian Research Institute of Plant Growing and Selection - branch of the Federal Research Center of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SibNIIRS – branch of the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences) served as research objects. Macrometric parameters were studied on 25 representative specimens of each breeding sample when they reached the phase of full ripeness during three years (2021–2023). The resistance of the stem to bending or fracture was determined on an experimental specimen manufactured at the SibNIIRS with a stable platform, bars for fixing the specimen and a slot for placing a dynamometer. The susceptibility of triticale plants to lodging was evaluated by a set of traits: weight of a 10-cm straw of the 2nd internode; stem resistance to breaking determined by the peak reading of an electronic dynamometer; stem tissue density of the 2nd internode. The studied samples differed significantly in these parameters and were characterized by different degrees of the resistance to lodging. Promising breeding specimens that can be used as sources of valuable traits have been identified based on the totality of the strength parameters. Application of the principal component method allowed to identify the marker trait "sum of lengths of the 2nd and 3rd internodes", which was determinant in providing high lodging resistance in the studied samples. A close relationship between the trait of 10-cm straw mass of the 2nd internode and the parameter of the stem resistance to breakage has been established. The conjugation of these characteristics will make it possible to identify the sources of valuable traits and purposefully carry out the selection process of triticale for resistance to lodging without attracting short-stemmed forms.

The effect of different doses of multi-nutrient fertilisers on macro-element content in two spring triticale cultivars

A field experiment was conducted in the years 2017–2019 at Borki-Wyrki, Zbuczyn Gmina (commune). Three experimental factors were examined in the trial: factor one was spring triticale cultivar (Milewo, Dublet), factor two was mineral fertiliser type (Polifoska 6, Polifoska Krzem) and factor three was mineral fertiliser rate (0, 140, 280 and 420 kg ha–1). Phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium contents in grain varied in study years as affected by weather patterns. The highest phosphorus, magnesium and sodium contents were determined in the grain of spring triticale cv. Dublet whereas the highest potassium and calcium contents in cv. Milewo grain. The applied fertiliser rates increased mineral contents, excluding magnesium and sodium, in the grain of test cultivars. Chemical composition analysis of grain of the spring triticale cultivars demonstrated that there was no significant effect of fertiliser type on grain quality.

The effect of field pea grown in mixtures with spring triticale on the content of total protein and amino acids

Context Legume and cereal mixtures can provide valuable feed for livestock. Aims A field experiment was conducted in 2016–2018 to determine the effect of the proportion of mixture components and harvest date on the total protein content and the content of amino acids in mixtures of field pea (FP) and spring triticale (ST). Methods Two factors were chosen for examination, the ratio of FP to ST and harvest date (at the flowering and flat green pod stages). The mixtures of FP:ST trialled were 100:0, 0:100, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75. Key results Dry matter yield was maximised with an equal proportion of both components harvested at the flat green pod stage of FP. The highest content of total protein, asparagine, glutamic acid, tyrosine, serine, proline and glycine in the examined mixtures was found with 75% FP and 25% ST. Cysteine content was highest with 25% FP + 75% ST. A highest content of total protein and analysed amino acids, with the exception of glutamine acid and proline, was found in mixtures harvested at flowering of FP. Conclusions A mixture of FP + ST with 75 + 25% or an equal share of both components should be recommended for cultivation, harvesting at the flat green pod stage of FP. This will ensure high dry matter yields and high total protein content. Implications Growing a mixture of FP + ST with a component share of 75 + 25% yields green fodder with high protein and amino acid content, whereas mixtures with equal component shares have the highest dry matter yields.

The proportion of components in field pea and spring triticale mixtures and harvest stage affect crude fiber content and forage digestibility

The work presents results of a study conducted in 2016–2018 to determine the effect of component share in the mixture and harvest stage on concentration of crude fibre and its fractions as well as digestibility of field pea/spring triticale mixtures. The following two factors were examined in a field experiment: factor I – component share in a mixture: field pea in pure stand 100%, spring triticale in pure stand 100%, field pea 75% + spring triticale 25%, field pea 50% + spring triticale 50%, field pea 25% + spring triticale 75%; factor II – harvest stage: field pea flowering stage (BBCH 65), field pea flat green pod stage (BBCH 79). The concentration of crude fibre and its fractions (NDF, ADF, ADL) were determined in the dry matter in addition to dry matter digestibility and organic matter digestibility. The lowest content of crude fiber and its fractions, among the mixtures, was revealed in the mixture with the share of components of pea and spring triticale 75% + 25% and 50% + 50%, respectively. Harvesting mixtures at a later stage caused an increase in crude fiber content and its fraction in dry matter. The superior dry matter digestibility and organic matter digestibility were found for field pea and field pea/spring triticale mixtures containing 75% + 25% and 50% + 50% of the respective components and harvested at the stage of field pea flowering.

Influence of weather conditions and elements of harvest structure on yield of spring triticale cultivated in organic agriculture on southern chernozem of northern Kazakhstan

The article presents the results of research on the influence of weather conditions and organic fertilizers on the elements of the crop structure and the productivity of spring triticale. The studies were carried out in the LLP " SPCGF named after A. Barayev" on southern carbonate chernozems in 2018-2021. Triticale was cultivated according to the falow. Dry above-ground mass of sweet clover, sainfoin, alfalfa, brome and wheatgrass was introduced into the fallow field as organic fertilizers. An annual decrease in the grain yield of spring triticale was noted over the years of research from 1.95 t/ha in 2018 to 1.01 t/ha in 2021. The weight of 1000 grains did not change significantly over the years of the study and ranged from 37.0-45.7 g. The number of triticale grains per unit area gradually decreased over the years of the study from a maximum in 2018 of 6951 pieces/m2 to a minimum in 2021 of 2739 pcs/m2. Variants of application of aboveground biomass of various perennial grasses as organic fertilizers had an equivalent effect on the yield of triticale and crop structure elements in comparison with the control (aboveground biomass of sweet clover). A positive correlation was obtained between the yield of triticale and HTC (according to Selyaninov) for the months of June and August, where the dependence on the variants of the experiment changed from medium to high (with June r=0.62 ... 0.94, with August r=0.64 ... 0.80). A moderate correlation was obtained between the grain yield and the HTC (according to Selyaninov) for the period June-August (r=0.59…0.78). The influence of the mass of 1000 grains on the yield was ambiguous, in some cases the relationship was weak (r=-0.21 ... -0.27) in others - medium (r=0.33 ... 0.36). A positive correlation was established between the grain yield and the number of grains per 1 m2 (r=0.61…0.94).

The dependence of yield and its structure on pre-sowing treatment of spring triticale (<i>× triticosecale</i>) seeds in the Amur region

The research results (2014 - 2015) on triticale yield and its structure depending on the seed treatment are presented. The need for research is caused by increasing grain yields and gross yields in the region. This work aims to establish the dependence of yield and its structure on the pre-sowing treatment of triticale seeds by modern fungicides that are effective in extreme conditions. A two-factor field experiment was conducted on the experimental field of the Far Eastern State Agrarian University, Amur region. Options: Factor A - triticale varieties: 1. Ukro, St; 2. Yarilo; 3. Carmen. Factor B - treatment with preparations: 1. Control - water; 2. Maxim rate - 1.5 ml/l; 3. Inshur Perform - 0.4 l/ha; 4. Kinto Duo - 2 l/ha. Each variety of triticale corresponded to fourvariants of treatment with preparations. Regarding height, productive business and ear length of triticale, the differences between the preparations and the control were insignificant. The preparation of Kinto Duo increased the number of grains in the ear by 2.0 % compared with the control. Maxim and Inshur Perform by weight of 1000 grains resulted in a significant increase of 2.8 and 3.9 %, and Kinto Duo - 7.2 % compared to the control. Yield is strongly related to productive business, r = 0.798. The correlation between yield and stem length is medium r = 0.332. Between yield, ear length, number of grains in the ear, and weight of 1000 grains, the correlation dependence is weak r < 0.3. The preparation Inshur Perform increased the yield of triticale grain by 0.11 t/ha or 4.9 %, Maxim - by 0.30 t/ha or 13.4 %, and Kinto Duo - by 0.34 or 15.2 % relative to the control.

Species diversity and abundance of aphids in triticale crops in North-West Russia

The aphid complex of triticale crops in the Leningrad region was characterized by a large species diversity (20 species), but low abundance (1.6 specimens/trap), which, under the influence of weather conditions, varied 2.4–3.8 times depending on the crop. Winter triticale crops were inferior to spring triticale in terms of species diversity (9 vs. 18 species) and abundance of aphids (1.2 vs. 1.9 specimens/trap). The numerical majority were species whose food specialization is related to cereal vegetation (53.8%-71.4% of individuals). The mass species were Rhopalosiphum padi L. and Sitobion avenae F., which accounted for 25.7% and 23.0% of the total number of individuals. The presence of other aphid species in grain crops is due to the presence of weeds (25.7%-26.9% of individuals), the growth of other crops nearby (2.9%-10.3%), woody and shrubby vegetation (0%9.0%). The greatest species diversity and abundance of aphids in crops of both winter and spring triticale was noted in the second decade of June, when the stage development of the former corresponded to the earing phase, and the latter to the tube exit phase.

Кормовая ценность зерна яровой тритикале сортов Ботаническая 4 и Тимирязевская 42

Laboratory analysis of raw materials (grains) is an important stage for the production of feed. The wider the range of data obtained as a result of research, the more effective the work on compiling the diet of animals, which is reflected in the conversion of feed and the economic component of livestock production. The use of near infrared radiation (NIRS) technology to determine the nutritional value of feed allows us to obtain data on the content of dry matter, crude protein, crude ash, crude fat, sugar and starch in feed, as well as data on protein absorption in the intestines of many animal species, including lactating cows. With the help of such a study conducted in the laboratory of Eurofins Agro (Wageningen, the Netherlands), data on the nutritional value of grain of two varieties of spring triticale obtained in the conditions of the Moscow region were obtained. The crude protein content in the grain of the Timiryazevskaya 42 variety was 119 g/kg of dry matter, in the grain of the Botanicheskaya 4 variety 125 g/kg of dry matter. In terms of starch content, Timiryazevskaya 42 grain exceeded Botanicheskaya 4 grain by 27 g/kg of dry matter. At the same time, studies have shown similar values in terms of the content of feed units for milk production (VEM) at the level of 1192–1189 g/kg of dry matter, the amount of protein absorbed in the intestine (DVE) — 95–96 g/kg of dry matter and organic matter fermented in the rumen (FOS) — 771–769 g/kg of dry matter.

Spring wheat and triticale varieties productivity in risk farming area

The studies were carried out in 2015-2022 at the Far Eastern Research Institute of Agriculture (Khabarovsk Territory). The object of study is released varieties of spring wheat (Khabarovchanka, Lira-98, Anfeya) and spring triticale (Ukro, Rovnya, Grebeshok). Agrometeorological conditions during the years of research were varied: 2015, 2016, 2019, 2022 - with excessive moisture, 2021 - insufficient precipitation, 2017, 2018 - within the average annual values. As a result of the research, it was found that under favorable conditions, the yield of triticale varieties was 45.2-79.8 centners per hectare, under the influence of limited factors, this indicator decreases by 3.6-5.0 times, and the formation of the productivity of wheat samples in the region is more stable. (average yield was 33.6-51.4 сentners per hectare). In terms of grain quality, there were differences in grain crops - wheat varieties accumulate a high amount of protein in grain (more than 15 %), triticale samples have the highest content of lysine in grain (more than 400 mg/%). It was revealed that the signs of productivity in the zone of risky farming in triticale and wheat varieties are inversely correlated with agrometeorological environmental conditions. High correlations were noted between: yield and heat in July for the triticale variety Grebeshok (r=0.75), grain size and heat in May and July for samples of triticale Grebeshok and Rovnya (r=0.74 and r=0.73 respectively), yield and amount of precipitation in June for wheat varieties Khabarovchanka and Lira-98 (r= -0.77 and r= -0.78 respectively), weight of 1000 grains and surface air temperature for variety Lira-98 (r= - 0.78).

Ecological testing of spring triticale new varieties in Mari El republic

An important condition for the growth of livestock production is the creation of a stable feed base. One of the promising forage crops is spring triticale. The main advantages of this crop are its high resistance to viral and fungal diseases, ecological plasticity, which allows it to be cultivated in more extreme conditions compared to other crops. Triticale resistance to stresses caused by both weather factors and soil conditions is significantly higher than that of other cereals. It is able to produce stable yields on eroded, sandy, acidic, light soils, where wheat significantly reduces yield. But any crop without the use of fertilizers cannot reveal its potential, especially on poor sod-podzolic soils. The use of mineral fertilizers is the most effective and fast-acting method of increasing the productivity of agricultural crops. The Department of seed production of grain crops in the fields of the Mari Research Institute - branch of the FGBNU FANC of the North-East conducted research to study the effect of levels and timing of mineral fertilizers on grain productivity of zoned and promising varieties of spring triticale. In the course of the study, it was found that the most productive in the conditions of the growing seasons for 2020-2022 with a yield of 3.09 to 4.06 t/ha, depending on the level of mineral fertilizer (factor B), were the varieties Dobroye, Savva and KNIISH 9. Varieties Timur and KNIISH 22 on average by factor B provided a smaller reliable increase in grain to the control grade Rovnya. On average over three years of tests reliably to the standard variety Rovnya highest productivity, with the lowest cost per kg of grain produced with the highest level of profitability, were the varieties Dobroe, Savva, KNIISH 9 at all levels of mineral nutrition and Timur (on background N30P60K60 and N60P60K60 + N30). By recoupment of 1 kg of grain kg of the active substance of fertilizers made the yield stood out varieties Dobroe with indicators on the background of fertilizer N60P60K60 - 5.4 kg, and Timur N30P60K60 - 5.2 kg.
