Recommended winter barley varieties 2020

Mid-September to early October it is time to sow winter barley for the 2020 harvest. LG varieties can be used as main crop after maize. LG recommends two varieties for the year 2020: Rafaela for the south of the Netherlands and LG Veronika for the north of the Netherlands. Both varieties are real yield toppers in their segment.

• Preferred variety for the south of the Netherlands, due to resistance to barley yellowing virus (BYDV)
• High, very stable yield due to good ear filling
• Above average yield
• Strong growing crop before and after winter and has an early ripening.
