‘Big data’ highlights benefits of hybrid barley as previous crop to oilseed rape
Hybrid barley suppresses black-grass
- Vigorous Spring Growth - HYVIDO vigorously tillers in the Spring, out-competing black-grass & reducing tiller production
- Dense Crop Canopy - HYVIDO has a far thicker canopy than that of conventional winter barley and winter wheat, reducing light availability for black-grass growth
- Large Root Mass - HYVIDO root system can be up to 70% greater than conventional barley, enabling it to out-compete black-grass for available nutrients and moisture
Meet the breeder - James Wroth
“I began working in Barley in 1999 and have remained here ever since then. I am currently focused on Hybrid Barley breeding for UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, Benelux, North France & North Germany, all of which make climatic variability, maintaining competitive yield performance & lowering seed production costs with better genetics very real challenges. The varied tasks, the people and being outside make all of it worth it! ”
