Spring Barley Feed Varieties DOYEN New Farm Crops
A very high yielding spring feed type with short stiff straw. Excellent resistance to Rhynchosporium and Mildew. STATIC Syngenta
Static is one of our best selling varieties. It is high yielding with very stiff straw. RIVIERA CPB Twyford
An excellent combination of reasonable yield, long straw and good mildew resistance has made Riviera a very popular feed option. It also has very bold grain and therefore high specific weights. WAGGON New Farm Crops
Waggon is the highest yielding and one of the most consistent varieties available. With it’s average straw height it has good resistance to lodging. It is late maturing and is relatively weak on Rhynchosporium and yellow rust, however it has good resistance to Brown Rust and Mildew. Malting Varieties COCKTAIL Syngenta
Cocktail looks very promising as one of the highest yielding varieties available. The straw is short and very stiff. However, it does not appear to have the universal acceptance in the malting market but will suit some end users. NFC TIPPLE Syngenta
NFC Tipple has a 3% yield advantage over Cocktail. It has short stiff straw and good resistance to brackling. This variety is proving a popular variety with some UK malting barley outlets. OPTIC Syngenta
Optic is fully accepted as a malting type and has dominated the malting market. Good quality is combined with a reasonably good yield potential. It has medium length, moderately stiff straw but is susceptible to brackling. Late to mature and weak on Rhynchosporium. Spring Wheat Group 1 Varieties – Top Quality Breadmaking PARAGON PBI
The only Group 1 breadmaking spring wheat on the HGCA list. It has very good disease resistance and relatively stiff straw. However, it is likely to suffer a yield penalty lying 17% behing Tybalt and 21% behind Belvoir. Group 2 Varieties – Lower Quality Breadmaking TYBALT Cebeco
Tybalt is just behind Belvoir on yield but is the highest yielding breadmaking spring wheat. It has moderately stiff straw, excellent disease resistance and is the most popular Group 2 spring wheat. SAMOA CPB Twyford
A national high-yielding spring wheat with stiff straw and good disease resistance especially to Mildew. Group 4 Varieties – Standard Feed BELVOIR CPB Twyford
Unlike other spring wheat this exceptionally high yielding variety has no breadmaking quality. However, it’s high yield and stiff straw enables it to provide a very good feed option to growers. Spring Oats ATEGO
This variety is not yet on the HGCA list but is likely to be higher yielding than all the recommended varieties. Relatively stiff straw. FIRTH CPB Twyford
Firth is a widely grown spring oat due to high yields and good kernal content. Mildew resistance is very good but it has moderate resistance to Crown Rust. Spring Beans FUEGO
New for 2006, extremely high yielding – 9% above Synchro, this variety has stiff straw, good Downy Mildew resistance and it should prove to be suitable for the premium market for human consumption. NILE
