Variety description

10 August 2026

A spring two-row barley variety with a tall, strong stem that possesses high resistance to lodging and brackling. The variety demonstrates very good resistance to diseases and is capable of withstanding strong winds, which allows it to be grown on various soil types, including poor ones.

The grain is characterized by a consistently high level of extractivity, making the variety sought after in the brewing industry and used for the production of specialty beers. The crop is also used as forage, and a wide sowing window provides flexibility in the timing of spring field work.
