Barley Varieties Registered in the Slovak Republic after Harvest 2017

Abstract

After completing the state varietal tests, the spring barley malting varieties Accordine, Esma, IS Maltigo, KWS Amadora, LG Lodestar, and Pop were registered in the Slovak Republic. Extract content in malt dry matter in the studied varieties was high, moving in the scope of 82.8 – 84.0%. The varieties had optimal to strong proteolytic modification (Kolbach index 48.3 – 53.9%). Amylolytic and cytolytic modification was also at the optimal level. Wort quality was optimal (apparent final attenuation 80.7 – 83.9 %). The studied varieties gave clear wort, with the exception of the variety Accordine in which weakly opalizing wort was also detected. In addition, non-malting spring barley variety Ovation was also registered.
