Characteristics

About

KWS Tardis, the 2-row winter feed variety that’s already become a firm farm favourite. It’s one of the UK’s highest yielding 2-row winter feed barley, with a performance that rivals some 6-row hybrid and conventional types. It is especially strong in the East (105%) and, thanks to its super stiff straw, performs well on heavy land where it delivers yields of 107% controls. But it doesn’t stop there, KWS Tardis has an excellent disease package, boasting 6 for Rhynchosporium and 5 for net blotch and one of the best untreated yields available (85% treated controls). It’s also early to mature (0 days +/- KWS Orwell) and delivers marketable grain with a very good specific weight (70.6 kg/hl) and low screenings. In short, KWS Tardis has it all – yields, stem stiffness, grain quality, performance across the rotation and a good disease – KWS Tardis - why plant anything else?
