Two-rowed spring barley with good commercially valuable properties

• Matej is a high-yielding spring variety of fodder barley from the Osijek Agricultural Institute’s selection programme
• It is a variety of medium maturity, featuring a two-rowed, loose spike, which has been produced for many years, confirming time and again the amount and stability of its grain yield in years of different weather and soil conditions
• Its commercial properties include tolerance to most widespread diseases and pests, a medium-height, firm, elastic and lodging-resistant stem, and large, uniformly sized grains, with an extremely high standard mass per storage volume
• Our recommendation is to sow it in February and early March, with the recommended seeding rate of 210-235 kg/ha
