With varieties like ALEXIS, SCARLETT and BARKE, Saatzucht Breun can look back on a successful spring barley breeding. For our current breeding it is challenging to build on those past successes. With an early selection, a high genetic variability and a rapid generation cycling, we could internationally place varieties like SUNSHINE, FATIMA and ELLINOR and we are now able to set new standards in malting barley quality with our Flexi-Malt®-varieties AVALON, LEANDRA and LEXY.Dr. Franziska Wespel, Breeder Saatzucht Breun (2012 – 09/23)
