This trial was conducted to compare the performance of new barley varieties alongside current industry standards
• Drought conditions at Hart in 2024 contributed to low barley yield and high variability across the site. This should be considered when interpreting results.
• The trial average for all barley varieties was 0.69 t/ha with most varieties performing similarly.
• All varieties exceeded the maximum protein threshold of 12% for Malt 1 receival standards, with an average of 16.93%. Most varieties performed well for grain quality parameters including screenings, retention and test weight.
• Long-term yield data shows that Combat, Minotaur, Compass and Beast continue to perform well across a number of seasons at Hart.
