The varieties that can be sown in autumn but are genetically spring varieties are sown between 15-25 October. When sowing spring varieties in the autumn, avoid areas with frost and sudden cooling. Among the varieties in our portfolio, Laureate and Leandra are the most rewarding varieties to sow in autumn due to their late emergence. The most important quality parameter for malting barley is a minimum germination rate of 96%. The general requirement of the malting industry is a protein content of around 10% in the malt. This requires that the protein content of the malting barley to be processed should be between 9.5 and 11.5%.
