In order to create hybrid vigour, which is linked to more resilient and competitive growth and higher grain output, genetically distinct parent plants are crossed to create hybrid barley seed. For a second consecutive year, barley continues to be the most expensive primary grain crop; its cost is still higher than that of high-protein wheat.
By combining parent plants with different genetic compositions, hybrid barley seed is created. This hybrid vigour is linked to more resilient and competitive development as well as higher grain yield. From planting to harvest, barley typically takes about 90 days, so the earlier you plant it, the easier it will be.
Barley begins growing earlier than most weeds, so you should only need to weed it once or twice before the plants shade out the weed competition. Comparable conventional types of barley cannot utilise nitrogen as effectively in the plant as hybrid variants can. Therefore, hybrid barley more effectively transforms nitrogen into yield.
With all of this in mind, hybrid barley is a popular substitute for second wheats among growers.Magnesium and Vitamin B6 in barley aid in the breakdown of the kidney’s harmful calcium oxalate deposits, which are the main cause of kidney stones. Barley’s dietary fibre improves kidney health by lowering the amount of calcium that the body excretes through urine.
The Global hybrid barley seed market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
In the UK, Syngenta has released the first hybrid barley variety seed ever. Colossus, a traditionally bred hybrid feed barley seed, was certified as the variety. The new barley has been carefully engineered to perform better and has “hybrid vigour,” which results in more resilient crops and higher yields.
The Hybrid Barley System, a crop production scheme, will include the sale of Colossus in the UK. The System offers growers the advantages of the new variety, three industry-leading crop protection products the fungicides AMISTAR, UNIX, and plant growth regulator MODDUS from Syngenta, as well as a thorough growing programme.
that according to its testing, the hybrid barley system increases yield by at least 10% when compared to conventional barley varieties.
