Winter barley evaluated for susceptibility to barley leaf stripe
Germany
December 2011
The biodynamic breeding initiative "F&Z Dottenfelderhof" in Germany has launched a new project funded by the German governmental Organic Farming Scheme and other Froms of Sustainable Agriculture (BÖLN) this year.
More than 140 winter barley varieties, breeding lines and gene bank accessions will be evaluated for susceptibility to barley leaf stripe over the next three years.
The results will help to develop new varieties with resistance to barley leaf stripe for the organic market.
