9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON VARIETIES SUITABLE FOR MALTING As malting and brewing in Ireland is grown under contract, the industry determines the varieties to be grown. Choice of varieties is based on results of malting and brewing tests on varieties included in DAFM trials. Propino, Overture, SY Taberna and KWS Irina are accepted malting varieties for However other varieties such as Olympus and Sienna may be available for growing under mating barley contract in (Both Olympus and Sienna have completed one year in the DAFM Malting Barley Trial). Mickle is a control variety across all DAFM spring barley trials. Descriptive notes on varieties in the Malting Barley trial but not on the 2016 Spring Barley Recommended List: OVERTURE: A British variety and the highest yielding non GN variety in the malting trial. Moderately tall straw, moderately susceptibile to lodging and straw breakdown. Very good resistance to mildew, good resistance to net blotch and moderate resistance to Rhynchosporium and brown rust. Small grain size. Cross: (Concerto x Quench) Breeder/Irl Agent: Limagrain, Seed Technology Ltd. *For variety descriptions of Propino, SY Taberna and KWS Irina see Spring Barley Recommended List 2016 under notes on Spring Barley Varieties. (Note that Mickle is used as a control variety in malting barley trial so as to correlate with RL trials).
