With two winter barley Recommended List trials harvested, get ready for more results over the next few weeks.
The first treated trial from Suffolk has an average yield of 9.7 t/ha. “One result doesn’t make a picture but the yield from Suffolk is heartening,” explains Dr Simon Oxley of HGCA. “The 6-row hybrid Volume achieved a yield of 107% of the control varieties, the highest 2-row feed yield comes from KWS Glacier at 109%”
The untreated yield trial is from Lincolnshire where the most common disease was powdery mildew. Average untreated yield from this trial is 8.9 t/ha compared with the 5 year average of 7.49 t/ha.
