Went with the same myself. I found it worked well. It's no ipu but did the job all the same.I went with flight @ 3.75L/ha, it did a good job.

Some varietys aren't ctu tolerant. We used it here when ipu went off, ctu has gone here now too. It's good on meadow grass, I think!!
Because it's off now breeders don't bother checking the variety tolerance.
I remember a neighbour putting it on wheat,it gave it a heck of a scorch. I can't recall the variety but it wasn't tolerant.
I've used it myself, it won't handle advanced meddow grass as well as ipu but it's better than flufenacet or pdm.
Happy enough with infinity this year, and every other year, carneval had an edge on it here this year and it will be a mix of the two for me even on my small acres. Dropping cassia after growing it for the last 5 years.Was thinking Infinity myself, how did people find it last year?
I have had Infinity last year and this year and found it good. Stands well, no issues that I could see, in 2017 it did 4.05 Ton/ac and this year did 3.26 Ton/ac.Was thinking Infinity myself, how did people find it last year?

I agree and I have the seed for 2019 grown for Goldcrop!
Anybody else notice Carneval not on the recommended list? Not even provisional? Any info? @CORK @Blackwater boy ?
Is it right to include 6 rows or hybrids in the average?Well spotted.
Traditionally, to warrant addition to the Recommended List, a variety needs to have an average over 2-3 years of 100% as it's yield rating.
Carneval would have achieved 99 if it were to be added to the list.
In recent years, exceptions have been made to this yield threshold of 100 where a new variety has a feature(s) which brings something valuable to the choice of varieties.
An example would have been Costello which came on the list initially with a rating of 99 - however, Costello was seen as a variety which brought a new level of grain quality both in terms of KPH and importantly, resistance to sprouting.
This time next year, Carneval may have raised its average to 100 and therefore may be added to the list.
Its a logic that I agree with to be honest.
That is probably skewing the results, my experience was that carneval was a step forward from infinity and cassia which are both listed, is there merit in a two row and six row list?Is it right to include 6 rows or hybrids in the average?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but no 2 row is now achieving 100% yield rating.
It is important to keep a good choice of newer 2 row varieties available, the list is becoming dominated by 6 row and hybrids, both of which should be niche varieties in my opinion.

When the KPH figures are quoted for all varieties both 2 and 6 row are they cleaned and screened figures quoted on the list?It's a fair suggestion.
Yes - you're right. Quadra is now one of the control varieties (along with Cassia and Tower) so it has certainly put pressure on the yield ratings of the 2 rows.
That said, the normal gap in yield between the 6 rows and 2 rows in trial was narrowed this year for some reason.

If you do kph on screenings you’ll get 64It's a misleading way of doing it really as the farmer gets paid for the barley straight off the combine not the cleaned sample. The kph figures off the combine of the 6 rows will never achieve the figures on the recommended list this way as they are always quite dirty compared to the 2 rows
Is the TGW of seed not screened seed tho?If you do kph on screenings you’ll get 64
TGW is a more representative way of comparing barley varieties along with kph
Buts lads love de bushel
If I was feeding it id be more interested in the grain size rather than the bushelIf you do kph on screenings you’ll get 64

Our “expert” will be along shortlyIs the TGW of seed not screened seed tho?
The dept list has an average TGW also but it's screened.
The crows know the TGW is low and they would have to eat twice as much grain to be full up.Our “expert” will be along shortly
He’s a big fan of “quality barley”
The only thing going for six rows is crows don’t like it
