SPRING BARLEY | Hordeum Vulgare
• Very high grain yield
• High quality
• High tolerance towards Pyrenophora teres and Rhinhosporium
WILMA impresses with its stable, high yields, large grain, high hectolitre weight and exceptional sorting. It has a high nutritional value due to its low fiber content and good digestibility. The variety is medium tall, but the stem is very stable. Maturation is medium early.
WILMA is also distinguished by its resistance to mildew and its high tolerance to most economically important diseases in barley.
