Production of malting quality grain requires limiting the application of nitrogen to 40 kg/ha when sowing and the application of phosphate‑potassium fertilisers — up to 40 kg/ha in autumn or spring. If the target is reaping a bumper harvest of feed quality grain with a high protein content (13% or more), the amount of nitrogenous fertilisers required increases up to 100‑120 kg/ha active substance and the amount of phosphate‑potassium — up to 60 kg/ha active substance

Disease resistance

Resistance to loose and covered smut, root rot, net blotch, rhynchosporium scald and leaf rust; mid‑resistance to powdery mildew

Crop protection

Obligatory seed treatment against smuts and one fungicide treatment prior to ear emergence in order to protect the flag leaf and the ear

Intended use

Malting and fodder
