2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 - Baudin and Hamelin - new generation of malting barley Blakely Paynter, Roslyn Jettner & Kevin Young Department of Agriculture

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 Outline • New varieties – reasons for release • Hamelin – agronomy & adaptation • Baudin – agronomy & adaptation • Unicorn barley – call for Unicorn barley 2

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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 3

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 Brewing in China and Australia Quality Australia China Explanation Beer style Amber Pale yellow Adjunct 25% cane sugar 25 – 40% rice Alcohol per t grain Extract High High Adjunct usage Diastase Low High FAN Moderate High Adjunct usage Steep temperature Modification rate Low High Adjunct usage Wort viscosity Low N/A Wort boil colour N/A Low Beer style 4

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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) 5

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 Hamelin barley • Background – Stirling X Harrington cross – superior malting quality • Maturity – early spring variety – high daylength sensitivity – flowers at a similar time to Stirling 6

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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 7

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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 8

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 Hamelin - grain yield • Northern wheatbelt Increasing variability Mean grain yield of all genotypes Increasing grain yield Increasing variability 9

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 Hamelin - grain yield • Central wheatbelt 10

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 Hamelin - grain yield • Southern wheatbelt 11

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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 12

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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 13

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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 14

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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 15

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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 ? 16

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 Baudin - grain yield • Central and great southern Increasing variability Mean grain yield of all genotypes Increasing grain yield Increasing variability 17

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 Baudin - grain yield • South coast (Albany Port) 18

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 Baudin - grain yield • South coast (Esperance Port) 19

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

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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) 21

2003 Agribusiness Crop Updates, Perth, WA, 19 - 20 Feb 2003 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 More info - contact AgraCorp 22
