Key Points
- Two newer barley cultivars, County and Tavern, were evaluated at selected sites in the 2001/02 season. Both cultivars had high yields
- Cask and Dash continued to be the highest yielding cultivars of those trialed in Canterbury sites
- Yields were fairly similar between sites in Canterbury due to the very wet summer
- North Island data is not reported due to adverse conditions with one site suffering from excessive water and the other lodged.
