KWS Donau

KWS Donau — winter two-row barley, developed for high yields and stable grain quality. This variety features early heading and mid-late maturity, providing optimal growing conditions in various climatic zones. The 1000-grain weight is approximately 7 grams, and the number of grains per ear is low, which enhances grain quality and size. The variety is characterized by high grain size and very high sorting quality, making it especially attractive for the brewing industry.

KWS Donau exhibits good resistance to major barley diseases, including powdery mildew, rhiachospore, net blotch, and dwarf rust, ensuring stable yields even under adverse conditions. Additionally, the variety shows medium-high resistance to lodging, ear shattering, and inter-ear internodes, facilitating harvesting and reducing grain losses. High resistance to low temperatures and drought makes this barley a reliable choice for various regions.

For sowing, use a density of 300–350 germinating seeds per square meter for optimal timing and 350–400 for late planting, with seed depth of 2–3 cm. Plant height is medium, which facilitates agronomic operations. Packaging is available in 700 kg big bags, convenient for storage and transport. Overall, KWS Donau is a high-yielding, high-quality barley variety, ideally suited for the brewing industry and ensuring stable, high yields.
