Spring Barley
RAGT Planet Tamtam x Concerto
Fully approved for IBD for brewing. Medium length straw and good resistant to brackling with bold grain. A fairly short variety, with good resistance to brackling and lodging. Good resistance to Mildew and Ramularia but does not show such good resistance to yellow or brown rust. Moderate resistance to rynchosporium. Should be considered as a feed as well as malting variety due to its high yields.
Laureate Sanette x Concerto
Has a very good agronomic profile on brackling and and mildew. Full approval in both Brewing and Distilling (IBD). It has shown very consistent and very high yields across a wide range of environments and seasons. Again with these high yields should be considered for feed barley variety as well.
LG Diablo Overture x Sanette
A high yielding dual purpose variety. It has very good physical grain quality with a high hot water extract, a trait heavily desired by the end user. It also has low grain nitrogen and a high specific weight. The variety has been given Full Approval for Malt Distilling and Full Approval for Brewing by the Malting Barley Committee (MBC).
