Spring Barely For Export

Several varieties which have been grown in trials in the UK are now used for malting in Europe.

Some of these are recommended and the best source of data for those is the current HGCA Recommended List.

Others were not Listed or have been removed from the List and a summary of their performance is given in the tables below.
