This trial was conducted to compare the performance of new barley varieties alongside current industry standards.
• The average barley yield was 4.66 t/ha at Hart in 2023.
• Combat, Neo, Minotaur and Beast were the highest yielding barley varieties with yields ranging from 4.89 – 5.11 t/ha.
• Protein (%) for all varieties averaged 13.1%, exceeding Malt 1 receival standards. As a result of high protein (%), no varieties met Malt 1 receival standards in 2023.
• Most varieties performed well across screenings (%), retention (%) and test weight (kg/hL), averaging 4%, 81.2% and 67.3 kg/hL, respectively.
