LG Caravelle may be the easiest choice you make this year

LG Caravelle is a high yielding two row winter barley which has topped the AHDB Recommended List. A favourable combination of genetic attributes have already made it a farmer favourite. The variety has been championed by Limagrain UK's technical team as "the easy choice".

Not as early as Mountain but brings a better specific weight, which takes some doing, far better than Mountain on Rhynchosporium with reduced brackling. Predominately a feed barley, limited data exists thus far, but signs point to it being viable for pearling.
