To compare the performance of new barley varieties alongside current industry standards.
• The average barley yield at Hart was 5.99 t/ha, with RGT Planet and Zena CL performing the best with yields of 7.13 t/ha and 7.02 t/ha, respectively.
• Spartacus CL and Maximus CL met Malt 1 specifications in the 2022 season.
• Beast, Commodus CL, Cyclops, and Laperouse (all pending malt accreditation) met Malt 1 standards for protein (%), screenings (%), retention (%) and test weight (kg/hL).
• Screenings, retention and test weight met the equivalent to Malt 1 receival standards for all varieties.
