To assess the performance of winter and spring barley germplasm managed under four different management intensities (mid-April to early May sown) at two levels of fungicides.
• There was no interaction between canopy management and variety and no significant differences between the means of any management in this trial.
• The mean yield of RGT Planet (spring barley) was significantly higher than the two winter barleys in the trial, even at the earlier time of sowing of late April.
• Mixed results were found in grain protein figures with significant differences found but little evidence to suggest it was caused by a particular nitrogen rate.
• No treatment in the trial was able to meet malt standards, especially in the winter barleys which produced particularly high protein and screenings and low test weight and retention.
