QUADRIGA

A medium-late, perfectly yielding, six-row fodder winter barley with grains of high quality

• Very high productivity
• Very good disease resistance especially for scald
• Good resistance to lodging
• Good winterhardiness
• Good grain size
• Good grain quality
• High protein content

Particularly suitable for intensive cultivation. It tolerates more acid soils, so it is also suitable for less fertile soils.

• Yield potential – record (especially in Poland and Germany)
• Very good tillering
• Good winter hardiness (5 points)
• Heading time – medium
• Maturation time – medium
• Height of plants – medium
• Resistant to diseases, especially to rhynchosporiosis (Rhynchosporium secalis)
• Resistance to lodging – good (7 points)
• Large, good looking and uniform grains
• 1000 grains weight – high (52-58 g)
• Protein content – ​​high (5 points)

Resistance to diseases (when 9.0 – very resistant)

According to German National Plant Variety tests in 2019:

• Grain yield – high (6-7 points out of 9)
• Heading time – medium (6 points out of 9)
• Ripening time – medium (6 points out of 9)
• Plant height – medium (6 points out of 9)
• Winter hardiness – medium (5 points out of 9)
• Fairly resistant to lodging (4 out of 9 sensitivity to lodging, where 1 is upright and 9 is lodged)
• Fairly resistant to diseases
• Crop density – good (4 points out of 9)
• Number of grains in the ear – high (7 points out of 9)
