Results just in from the DKB trials site - our top 5 performing barleys in 2022 are Funky, SY Canyon, SY Kingston, Belfry and Caravelle.
Hybrids have done well generally at the site this year, but good to see the potential of the new 2-rows coming out in Caravelle.

[DKB Crop Protection @dkbcrop]

Thank you to all those who attended our Open Days this year, and we hope that you took something away from the site - whether plans for this year’ varieties or a new DKB cap!
Thanks also to our suppliers and exhibitors who brought the days to life. Dates for 2023 to follow!
