The AHDB-recommended list for cereals and oilseeds 2018/2019 was published this week. It includes three new malting barley varieties.
“They all compare favourably with Concerto and Laureate in terms of yield and agronomic features,” AHDB senior crop scientist Jenna Watts says.
The three new malting barley varieties are: LG Diablo, which yields strongly in the north and is under test for brewing and malt distilling; LG Tomahawk, which also yields very highly and is undergoing testing for malt distilling; and RGT Asteroid, which is being tested for brewing, malt distilling and grain distilling.
