LG Mountain is an early maturing 2 row feed winter barley variety.
The variety performs consistently across seasons and regions, in both treated and untreated trials. This is combined with the good agronomic characteristics of short straw, good disease resistance and good grain quality with a very good specific weight which is higher than KWS Tardis.
LG Mountain has also performed well in drought seasons and on light soils.
