International Barley Market

• 80% of the WA barley is exported to

countries such as China, Korea, Japan.

• China is our most important market.
• Chinese brewing and malting market

differs to the Australian market:

– conditions encountered during malting – style of beer produced – adjunct usage

Release of New Varieties

• Chinese specification

– lowly modified, high extract, fast proteolysis – high FAN, low wort boil colour

• Market failure in China

– Stirling not well accepted in most areas – Gairdner has problems with proteolysis

• Barley industry of WA released two new

provisional malting varieties

– Hamelin (tested as WABAR2104) – Baudin (tested as WABAR2080)

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

6

Hamelin barley

• Background

– Stirling X Harrington cross – superior malting quality

• Maturity

– early spring variety – high daylength sensitivity – flowers at a similar time to Stirling

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

7

Characteristics of Hamelin

• Agronomic traits relative to Stirling

– wide regional adaptation – slightly better straw strength – similar intolerance to boron – physiological leaf spotting – similar disease susceptibility – similar herbicide reaction – grain less dormant – susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting

– in general agronomically similar to Stirling

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

8

Hamelin - adaptation

• Hamelin has wide adaptation

– suited to Agzone 2 & 4 – parts of Agzone 1,3 & 5 – pre-harvest sprouting an issue in other areas

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

9

Hamelin - grain yield

• Northern wheatbelt

Increasing grain yield Increasing variability Increasing variability Mean grain yield of all genotypes

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

10

Hamelin - grain yield

• Central wheatbelt

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

11

Hamelin - grain yield

• Southern wheatbelt

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

12

Hamelin - management

• Sowing date

– target last 2 weeks of May

• Disease

– use full spectrum seed dressing – watch out for mildew and leaf rust

• Protein management

– target 10.5% protein – non-legume stubbles, use N-calculator

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

13

Hamelin - summary

• Replacement for Stirling
• Similar plant appearance & phenology
• Wide regional adaptation
• Yield advantage over Stirling
• Receival at 2003/04 harvest with similar

specifications to Stirling by Grain Pool

• Receival at ports

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

14

Baudin barley

• Background

– pronounced as Bow-dan – Stirling X Franklin cross – superior malting quality

• Maturity

– medium spring variety – higher daylength sensitivity than Gairdner – flowering date depends on sowing date

• May, 0 to +4 days later than Gairdner
• June, -2 to -3 days earlier than Gairdner

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

15

Characteristics of Baudin

• Agronomic traits relative to Gairdner

– wider regional adaptation – shorter straw, improved straw strength – similar intolerance to boron – susceptible to leaf rust, mildew and STNB – intermediate to scald – similar herbicide reaction – similar grain dormancy – not susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting

– in general superior to Gairdner except disease

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

16

Baudin - adaptation

• Baudin has wider adaptation

– suited to Agzone 3 & 6 – better than Gairdner in Agzones 1, 2 and 5 – early sowing in great southern medium rainfall ?

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

17

Baudin - grain yield

• Central and great southern

Increasing grain yield Increasing variability Increasing variability Mean grain yield of all genotypes

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

18

Baudin - grain yield

• South coast (Albany Port)

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

19

Baudin - grain yield

• South coast (Esperance Port)

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

20

Baudin - management

• Sowing date

– target a May sowing

• Disease

– use full spectrum seed dressing – foliar fungicide likely to be needed – watch out for mildew, leaf rust, STNB

• Protein management

– may be susceptible to low protein – target 10% - 10.5% protein – legume may be an option, use N-calculator

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

21

Baudin - summary

• Alternative to Gairdner with shorter &

stronger straw, plumper grain and more flexible development pattern

• Wider regional adaptation
• Disease management plan required
• Receival at 2003/04 harvest with similar

specifications to Stirling by Grain Pool

• Receival at ports (except Geraldton)

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003

22

Unicorn Barley

• Very early spring barley
• Very high malting quality

– well suited to Japanese brewing market – Gairdner and Stirling not suited

• Kirin Australia seeking 25,000 t in 2003
• Incentives to grow

– pool + $30/t – receival specifications similar to Stirling

• Manage for protein, skinning, head loss
