✚ The UK's market leading variety 

✚ High yields, good grain quality and all-round agronomy

Variety Positioning

• The UK’s market leading variety with very high yields (105% treated, 90% Untreated) and bold grain (71.7 kg/hl) on the UK Recommended List.  

• It has also shown similar strong performance in Agrii trials (104% treated, 84% untreated) over the past three years.

• It has set a high bar for yields and disease resistance but its straw needs managing.

• Consistent across all soils and regions with particularly strong performance in the East (107%).

• Good performance on all soils especially heavy land (107%).

• Agronomically, it is sound with an average height (86 cm treated, 93 cm untreated), reasonably stiff straw treated (8) untreated (7), medium lodging risk in Agrii trials but moderately resistant to brackling (9).  

• It shows medium maturity (0). Disease resistance is very encouraging with mildew (RL 7; Agrii 7), brown rust (RL 7; Agrii 7), Rhynchosporium (RL 6; Agrii 6) and net blotch (RL 6; Agrii 6).

• Resistant to barley mild mosaic and yellow mosaic virus (strain 1).
