KWS Tardis
Two-Row Feed Barley
KWS Tardis is the most widely grown winter barley; it is a very high yielding barley with a good
specific weight and low screenings and early maturity. KWS Tardis performs well across all
regions and soil types, but it is the better bodied soils where it really excels. The variety has a
strong disease resistant package including a very strong Rhyncosporium score . It is a medium
tall variety with very stiff straw and excellent resistance to brackling making KWS Tardis a very
strong variety.
