Winter Barley


Unfortunately we will not be moving forward with the variety as winter hardiness was a concern. We will be trialing another variety that is a 2 row winter barley fall of 2020 and summer of 2021.

KWS Higgins Winter Barley
KWS Higgins winter barley is an exciting opportunity for higher yields and double crop options
  • Seed early fall for best results - contact us for more information
  • European growth style and habit as it is a variety
    • Popular in Europe that has been trialed in Canada
  • ​6 row feed type
  • Medium height with strong straw and good stand ability  
  • Bushel weight will be better vs spring 6 row barley because it matures much sooner and will have moisture to fill vs a spring 6 row barley on dry conditions
  • Very early maturity = spread harvest or silage over more time​
  • Yield on dry land will be higher than spring seeded barley
  • Mildew resistance is rated good
  • Rust, scald, leaf spot ratings are medium to good
  • Lower FHB disease risk because it flowers very early
    • reduced need for fungicides and less quality risk 
  • Winter hardiness will be a challenge for winter barley. To reduce winter risk we recommend:
    • Seed earlier compared to winter wheat or fall rye by a week or more. Call us for more information.
    • Use seed treatments including fungicides and insecticides
      • https://www.grainews.ca/2016/11/28/when-it-comes-to-winter-wheat-seed-treatment-pays 
      • Research paper on winter crops and seed treatments
    • Even seed placement​ so every plant is similar stage
    • Seed 3/4 deep so the crown is not to deep but not shallow either
    • Higher seeding rates may help minimize risk
