ELECTRUM is the latest malting barley from the Syngenta breeding programme 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 maturity and great agronomics, low screenings, good nitrogen and HWE makes it an attractive variety for the maltster too.
