| Description: |
Hulless barley varieties are not hulless, they just have a hull that is held onto the seed loosely. The hull is removed during combining and the seed is used for animal feed and human food. In comparison to hulled varieities of barley, hulless barley is better suited as a hog and chicken feed because of its greater digestibility, higher protein and lysine levels, and lower fibe content. When hulless varieties of barley are used in rations, livestock produce less manure and the manure is more viscous. Hulless barley compares well to CPS wheat for energy production per acre, but hulless barley also has a higher lysine content and requires a shorter growing season to mature. |

| Remarks: |
- % AC Metcalfe by Area. Refer to Alberta testing zone map for the geographical areas.
- Yield by Test Category is described as the % of the test mean in bu/ac categories under low, medium, high and very high conditions
As a result the area yields for these varieties have been adjusted to AC Metcalfe from Harrington.Varieties designated with a * have limited or no data compared with AC Metcalfe as the check variety.
Maturites are stated in days +/- AC Metcalfe. Data marked XX, not sufficient data to describe.
Ratings: EX = Excellent, VG = Very Good, G = Good, F = Fair, P = Poor, VP = Very Poor. |
