LCS CALYPSO is a two-row winter malting barley bred by Limagrain Europe s.a. in France. LCS Calypso medium maturity (flowers five days later than ‘Thoroughbred’), is short stature, exhibits anthocyanin and has long awns. LCS Calypso is adapted to winter malt barley growing regions of North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York. LCS Calypso may contain up to 0.1% tall plants and up to 0.1% later drooping heads. US PROTECTED VARIETY. Registered and Certified seed may only be produced and sold only through a license agreement with Limagrain Cereal Seed. Crop may not be sold, reproduced or otherwise exposed for sale as seed.

LCS VIOLETTA was released by and licensed by Limagrain Cereal Seeds. It is a two row winter barley. It is a short stature plant height (averages 31.4 inches), an early maturing with green leaves at boot. Flag leaf is erect and twisted at boot. Auricle color is white, with straight, long, rough awns. LCS Violetta was selected for its malting quality, earliness, winter hardiness and resistance to Barley Yellow Mosaic Virus. LCS Violetta also showed excellent tolerance to leaf rust, powdery mildew, and net blotch. It is adapted for the Pacific Northwest and the Eastern Seaboard of the US. Licensed to produce seed through Limagrain Cereal Seeds and no farmer saved seed allowed; Community Plant Variety Rights

NOMINI was released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station. It is an early maturing, medium tall, high yielding six-row winter barley with compact spikes. It is resistant to powdery mildew, Septoria, and barley yellow dwarf virus. Nomini is moderately susceptible to leaf rust and is not very winter hardy.

VT BEAHM is a six-row, medium-tall, moderately early heading winter awnless hulled barley having good forage yield potential with high to moderate resistance to leaf rust, net blotch, and Fusarium head blight and low Deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation. The juvenile growth of VT Beahm is erect, flag leaves are upright and waxy at the booting stage, leaf sheaths and stems are glabrous, and anthocyanin is absent in leaves or stems. The stems have four nodes, closed collars, “straight” peduncles and an exertion of 10 to 15 cm above the base of the flag leaf blade. The six-rowed spikes of VT Beahm are erect, dense, strap, and slightly waxy with no overlapping lateral kernels. The rachis is covered with short hairs. Glume is half of the lemma, with short hairs, and their awns are rough and more than or equal to length of glumes. The lemma awn surfaces are rough and awnless, but in some environments, awnletted on central rows, awnless on lateral rows. The basal marking of the lemma is a slight crease. The rachilla hairs are long. Kernel are covered, short to mid-long with a colorless aleurone with hair absent on the ventral furrow. VT Beahm has winter growth habit; it requires vernalization and has sufficient low temperature tolerance for production in the areas tested. Average plant height of VT Beahm (99 cm) in Virginia is significantly taller than those of cultivars (Nomini, Secretariat, Thoroughbred, and Flavia).
