Monro

Monroe is a medium-maturing winter brewing barley variety of Austrian selection, proven as a high-yielding and quality variety with excellent brewing characteristics. It is recommended for cultivation under the HEINEKEN brewing program, confirming its high standards and reliability in malting production. Plants are medium-height and exhibit superior lodging resistance, contributing to stable yields even under adverse weather conditions.

The variety has a high yield potential — up to 90-100 centners per hectare — and good adaptability to drought-prone areas, where it is successfully used as fodder barley. Its maturation is medium-early, and heading is medium-late, allowing for effective planning of agronomic activities. Protein content in grain ranges from 12.1% to 13.3%, and the 1000-grain weight is 48-50 grams, indicating high grain quality and density.

For sowing, the recommended seeding rate varies depending on timing: for early sowing (September 10-15) — 2.8-3.0 million seeds per hectare, for optimal sowing (September 20-30) — 3.0-3.2 million/ha, and for late sowing (October 5-10) — 3.4-3.6 million/ha. Seed material is packed in 20- and 40-kilogram bags, convenient for various scales of agricultural production. All these characteristics make Monroe a reliable choice for brewing industry and fodder use.
