A study by the Kazan State Agrarian University has identified specific varieties of spring grain crops that act as "carbon sinks," helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The research, part of the carbon farming approach, found that three varieties of spring wheat and one of the 14 barley varieties have a positive balance of greenhouse gas accumulation in the soil. Spring triticale had the lowest carbon footprint among spring cereal crops, while the domestic soybean variety Samer 4 had the smallest carbon footprint. The research highlights the potential of selecting crop varieties with a minimal carbon footprint for sustainable agriculture and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

As part of a study conducted by scientists from the Kazan State Agrarian University (Kazan SAU), varieties of spring grain crops were identified that have the smallest carbon footprint and help reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The work is part of an innovative approach known as carbon farming, which aims to increase soil carbon stocks through optimized agricultural practices. As Radik Safin, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of General Agriculture, Plant Protection and Breeding of Kazan State Agrarian University, told the National Agrarian Agency, “Our research, conducted within the framework of a grant from the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, showed that only 3 varieties of spring wheat out of 19 (Idelle , Tulaikovskaya Nadezhda and Zlata) and 1 of the 14 barley varieties had a positive balance of greenhouse gas accumulation in the soil. This means that these varieties act as “carbon sinks,” helping to reduce ...
