A high yielding conventional six-row to replace Sequel, Escadre is a commanding variety finding favour in traditional six-row regions, particularly in the North and South West of England.
Escadre’s ’tour de force’ is that its very high yield is backed by the highest specific weight of any recommended six-row (70.1kg/hl) – hybrid or conventional. Out of the feed varieties, only two, KWS Cassia and Saffron, have a bolder grain.
- High yielding conventional six-row
- Highest specific weight of all six-row feeds
- Resistant to BaYMV
- Triple 8 for Rhynchosporium, net blotch and yellow rust

A high yielding conventional six-row to replace Sequel, Escadre is a commanding variety finding favour in traditional six-row regions, particularly in the North and South West of England. Escadre’s ’tour de force’ is that its very high yield is backed by the highest specific weight of any recommended six-row (70.1kg/hl) – hybrid or conventional. Out of the feed varieties, only two, KWS Cassia and Saffron, have a bolder grain.
Escadre is very susceptible to mildew but good resistance to Rhynchosporium and net blotch. The shortest of the 6 rows but still grows quite tall and will benefit from a robust PGR programme. It is an alternative to 6-row hybrids with very high yields in the North.
