LIVADA

The new high-quality winter malting barley variety LIVADA has been replacing the proven PIROSKA for two years and will serve as the perfect complement to the main variety, KWS DONAU, in the future. LIVADA was registered in the Austrian variety list with yield performance identical to that of KWS DONAU and Sonja. LIVADA is also agronomically well-suited for domestic winter malting barley regions and, with an APS rating of 4, demonstrates a significant improvement in lodging resistance. Its greatest advantage, however, lies in its grain and malt quality; LIVADA is literally the “Ferrari” of the current portfolio. Top sieving values, optimal protein content, and top scores across all malt quality parameters form the foundation for this new in-house variety’s significant market impact. LIVADA is now on the Heineken Group’s “Green List” and is also being developed as a high-quality winter malting barley in many European countries outside of Austria.
