Variety information Pedigree: Mundah/Keel//Barque Breeder / Seed licensee: University of Adelaide / SeedNet Access to seed: SeedNet Authorised Growers EPR ($/t, excluding GST): $1.50 IGB1334T - feed variety Comments IGB1334T is a new imidazolinone tolerant feed barley that is agronomically similar to La Trobe. IGB1334T plants lack the anthocyanin pigmentation associated with Hindmarsh and La Trobe plants. Barley NVT (2014 season only) trials suggest that IGB1334T is higher yielding than Scope CL when grown in WA. Like Hindmarsh and La Trobe, IGB1334T is one week earlier to awn peep than Scope CL when sown in late May. IGB1334T is being assessed for its suitability as a malting variety. It will enter Stage 1 of Barley Australia testing in 2016 with malting accreditation possible in 2016. Seed of IGB1334T is available from Syngenta SeedGro Partners for sowing as a feed barley in 2016. Grain yield (2005-2014 NVT) % CL % Hindmarsh Agzone 1 - - Agzone 2 - - Agzone 3 - - Agzone 4 - -
