18 Data taken from AHDB 2021/2022 Recommended List Data taken from AHDB 2021/2022 Recommended List WINTER BARLEY Data Taken from DSV Internal Trials and EU Common Catalogue A high yielding two row barley. Hawking is a low risk variety, with no major weaknesses and is a natural progression from KWS Orwell. As such, it is the ideal barley for those looking for the same stiff straw as Orwell. KWS HAWKING Conventional (11-12 X California) x KWS Tower Yield (%) Yield (T/Ha) Resistance to Lodging Spec Weight (Kg/Hl) Untreated Yield % 103 10.1 7.5 68.7 81 Bolton is an impressive 2-row winter feed barley that yields on comparison with most 6-row hybrids, standing exceptionally well in both treated and untreated trials. BOLTON Conventional KWS Cassia x California Yield (%) Yield (T/Ha) Resistance to Lodging Spec Weight (Kg/Hl) Untreated Yield % 106 10.2 8 68.6 83 Net Blotch Rhyncosporium Brown Rust Mildew 5 6 Sensation is the first DSV 6 row winter barley variety to be launched in the UK. It contains two very important traits – Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) and Barley Yellow Mosaic Virus (BaYMV) Type 1 and 2 protection. More importantly, seed treatments have no influence on these types of infection. A very high yielding variety with good straw strength and high specific weight that has performed well in treated and untreated trials – with and without virus pressure. It is very early to head and to ripen and is listed as the earliest heading variety in France. Its speed of growth in the spring also makes it particularly strong in black grass situations where it quickly outgrows emerging weeds. SENSATION Conventional Yield (%) Yield (T/Ha) Resistance to Lodging Spec Weight (Kg/Hl) Untreated Yield % 104 - 7 68.6 91 Net Blotch Rhyncosporium Brown Rust Mildew 5 7 6 7 A high yielding two row feed barley. An early maturing variety with stiff straw. Also a good specific weight combined with a good disease resistance package. Valerie is a step forward for growers that have previously had good results with Cassia nearly matching the specific weight but with extra yield potential and disease resistance.
