Variety Positioning
-
Craft remains the UK’s number one winter malting barley with full MBC approval.
-
Performs consistently in Agrii trials with high yields (93% treated, 80% untreated), good specific weight (69.9 kg/hl).
-
Preferred by the maltsters for its relatively high malt extract
(308 l deg/kg) and low grain nitrogen (1.68%). -
Performs best on lighter soils (94%). Moderately tall (91 cm treated, 99 cm untreated) with medium risk of lodging (8 untreated, 8 treated) and medium maturity (0).
-
Relatively good disease resistance against mildew (6) (6), brown rust (7) (6), Rhynchosporium (6) (6) but net blotch is weak (5) (3) so this needs to be monitored.
-
Resistant to barley yellow mosaic virus.
