High yielding feed barley
NOS Gambit is a high yielding feed spring barley on the new AHDB RL 2026.
NOS Gambit produces very high yields in all regions of the UK. It has stiff straw with excellent brackling resistance and is
relatively early to ripen. NOS Gambit combines this with good all round disease resistance. With excellent grain quality, a high specific weight and exceptionally low screenings, NOS Gambit is a popular feed choice.
