Characteristics
About
An ever-popular, bold grained variety with great specific weight, KWS Cassia is still grown across large swathes of the UK winter barley area. KWS Cassia is free-tillering and easy to grow. Over the years, many growers have seen the benefits of the variety’s ability to hold onto green leaf right through the grain-fill period and provide good solid yields of marketable grain. KWS Cassia is medium height, stiff-strawed and requires only a basic PGR regime to ensure the security of grain through to harvest. 13 years on, it’s still depended upon to deliver grain for home feeding and the domestic feed market.
