Variety description

10 August 2026

The Rifle variety is mentioned in 1997 trial reports as a winter malting barley. By 2000, it was removed from recommended variety lists due to the emergence of higher-yielding and better-quality counterparts.

In modern research, this variety is mentioned mainly in the context of genetics, acting as a parental form in the breeding of new barley varieties.
