UPDATED HYBRID ROI CALCULATOR
Our app has had some exciting updates making it an even more useful tool for those looking to grow hybrid barley.
ELECTRUM is the latest malting barley from the Syngenta breeding program to achieve Full MBC Approval for Brewing for harvest 2021. This is an important milestone for the highest-yielding winter malting barley variety on the AHDB Recommended List. Alongside very early matuirty and great agronomics, low screenings, good nitrogen and HWE makes it an attractive variety for the maltster too.

Hybrid barley as a grass weed management tool
Over the last five years we have shown how hybrid barley can be an integral part of black-grass management. Further research has shown that these benefits can be seen more widely in grass weed management, including the suppression of brome grass.
Hybrid barley has shown better suppression of sterile brome than both winter wheat and 2-row winter conventional barley in independent trials.
