Abstract.The relevance of the research is due to changes in climatic conditions, which leads to the frequent manifestation of adverse factors and, as a result, a decrease in the productivity of agricultural plants. Scientific research is aimed at developing new varieties of cultivated plants that are highly resistant to stressful conditions. Successful research in this area can lead to the creation of resistant varieties capable not only of providing livestock complexes with feed, but also of increasing the environmental sustainability of the industry of both breeding and feed production. Mogar is a promising crop for arid climate conditions. The article presents data on the study of the Mogar collection nursery. During the period from 2021 to 2023, 36 samples of various origins were studied. Sowing was carried out at the optimal time for the culture – in the third decade of May. The zoned Ascet variety was used as a standard. A comprehensive study of the source material allowed us to identify varietal types: for high yields: aboveground biomass (> 18.00 t/ha) – k-605, k-993, k-1027, k-1628, k-1726, Atlant; grains (1.90) – k-37, k-80, k-1356. High crude protein content: in dry biomass (> 0.70 t/ha) was found in samples k-605, k-993, k-1027, k-1775, Atlant; in grain (1.20 t/ha) it was found in samples mogar k-37, k-80, k-1356, k-1748.
