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).

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.
