Reducing BYDV risk for growers

Agronomy Characteristics

  • KWS JOYAU is a unique 6-row conventional winter barley with BYDV tolerance genes

  • Tolerates BYDV infection. UK research shows KWS JOYAU performance is not affected by BYDV virus

  • An early maturing variety which helps to spread out the harvest workload.

  • Exceptional grain quality (69.5 kg/hl) and straw strength (7)

  • Joyau has the best resistance to straw breakdown on the 2024 Rec List (7).

‘‘Compared to the standards, Joyau delivers high yield, excellent grain quality and an excellent agronomy package with the reassurance of BYDV tolerance.’’

— Dr. Tim O'Donovan, Technical Director

Aphids are not a worry when JOYAU is drilled.
