Paquita is a new BYDV tolerant two-row winter barley candidate H2026.

It combines competitive two-row feed yields, with stiff straw and early ripening, good disease resistance and a high

specific weight.

Paquita importantly also has BYDV tolerance, offering growers the attributes of a top performing feed

barley with the added security of protection from BYDV, reducing costs and risks.

• Competitor to the leading barleys with or without the added USP of BYDV tolerance.

• Fits into IPM strategy, reducing reliance on chemicals.

• Reduces risk – a good insurance, paricularly if drilling early.

• Reduces workload pressure - demand on sprayer and timings reduced.

• Some pyrethoid resistance in aphid populations.

• Very useful in some circumstances

- SFI insecticide free
