Two-row Malting Barley
KWS Tardis
UK’s highest yielding 2-row winter feed barley,
KWS Tardis, the 2-row winter feed variety that’s set to become a firm farm favourite with a performance that rivals many of the 6-row hybrid and conventional types. It is especially strong in the East (106%) and, thanks to its super stiff straw, performs well on heavy land where it delivers yields of 109% controls. But it doesn’t stop there, KWS Tardis has an excellent disease package, boasting 7 for Rhynchosporium and [5] for net blotch and one of the best untreated yields available (85% treated controls). It’s also early to mature (0) and delivers marketable grain with a very good specific weight (70.2 kg/hl) and low screenings.
KWS Orwell
KWS Orwell is the highest yeilding two row winter barley on the recommended list. It has the stiffest staw of all the 2 row also has good brackling resistance.
KWS Cassia
A slightly older but yet still a very popular bold-grained variety but still grown across more than 10% of the UK winter barley area. KWS Cassia is free-tillering and easy to grow. Its ability to hold on to green leaf through the grain-fill period helps boost yields.
KWS Cassia is medium height, stiff-strawed, requiring a standard PGR regime to ensure security in the field.
