LG Caravelle

✚ The highest yielding 2-row barley on the UK RL

Variety Positioning

• Top of the UK Recommended List in terms of yield and similar strong performance in Agrii trials (104% treated, 91% untreated) over the past two years.

• It also has the boldest grain (71.4 kg/hl, AHDB) of any of the newer varieties.

• It is expected to become the new front-runner in the market from a variety that combines the genetics of two of the most successful barley breeders of the last decade, KWS and Limagrain.

• Consistent across all soils and regions with particularly strong performance in the East (107%).

• Good performance on all soils especially heavy land (106%).

• Agronomically, it is sound with an average height (86 cm treated, 93 cm untreated), reasonably stiff straw treated (7) untreated (8), brackling (8) and mid-late maturity in Agrii trials.

• Disease resistance is very encouraging with mildew (7) (7), brown rust (7) (7), Rhynchosporium (6) (7) and net blotch (6) (6).

• Resistant to barley yellow mosaic virus.
