Barley Eastway is a high-quality agricultural crop belonging to the grass family. It is one of the oldest cultivated plants, rich in vitamins, macro- and microelements, as well as high in fiber. Due to its nutritional properties, barley is widely used in food, animal feed, and technical industries, including brewing.
The Eastway barley variety, also known as "Snow Queen", is a typical winter type with high frost resistance comparable to the Manas standard. It shows a medium yield of about 5.9 tons per hectare, and under drought conditions, it can yield up to 10.1 tons per hectare. This variety is resistant to diseases such as black and stink head, as well as powdery mildew. Plants grow vigorously and recover quickly after frost damage, making them reliable for cultivation in various climatic conditions.
Morphologically, Eastway features a six-rowed, medium-length ear with a loose structure, straw-yellow color, and elastic, long, serrated openings. Plant height reaches 90–100 cm, with medium-sized, yellow, elongated grains. For successful cultivation, standard agronomic practices with mandatory fertilizer application and seed treatment are recommended, ensuring reliable disease protection and increased yield.
