High Yielding Feed Variety
Cosmopolitan is a high yielding, consistent feed barley.
Cosmopolitan combines a superb, consistent performance in all UK regions with good grain quality, low screening losses, and a solid agronomic package. It has short straw with good lodging resistance and is earlier to ripen than Laureate. Cosmopolitan has excellent disease resistance, particularly to the important diseases Rhynchosporium and mildew as it has mlo resistance.
