Plant breeders Nickerson have published a husbandry guide for Westminster, the high-yielding spring malting barley which has been given full approval for brewing in 2007.

“The guidelines are primarily targeted at the malting barley grower who is growing Westminster for the first time,” said Nickerson product manager, Lee Robinson. “The guide includes information on market potential, varietal performance, fungicide programmes and husbandry trials”.

“Westminster offers growers a unique combination of high quality, outstanding disease resistance and agronomic benefits. It has been on the HGCA Recommended list since 2005 and it now has full approval for brewing by the Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD).” he added.
