Barley

Stable yields without excessive fungicide use

After two seasons of cultivation, it became clear: the French breeders focused heavily on the crop's natural immunity. In weather conditions that are increasingly unpredictable, this two-row barley behaves very reliably.

Field observations

Azalea demonstrates excellent resistance to the key regional threats. Powdery mildew also fails to become a critical factor requiring immediate and costly intervention.

Agronomic ease

For an agronomist, working with this barley is convenient for several reasons:

• Stable ear: The two-row plant type ensures uniform ripening, which is critical when it comes to harvesting efficiency.
• Grain quality: The density and weight of 1000 grains allow for a high-quality product that elevators are eager to accept.
• Predictability: The variety does not struggle with intensive cultivation technologies and responds consistently to fertilizer applications.

Secobra Recherches S.A.S has created a variety that is forgiving of minor timing errors in field operations. If you are looking for a crop that won't succumb to disease after the first wet week, Azalea is one of the most reliable spring barley tools currently available on the market.
