Grdc - Grains Research And Development Corporation
Improving barley peduncle strength and architecture to reduce head loss - GRDC is seeking to co- invest in a small- medium scale, four- year initiative aimed at delivering breeder- ready genetic selection tools, knowledge, and germplasm to support the development of barley varieties with greater resistance to head loss. Head loss ( HL) in barley is a significant challenge, resulting in yield reductions of around 5% to 10% in moderately susceptible cultivars in areas prone to harvest delays, such as Southern
