Barley

Post 90

Post 90 was developed by the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station as Post Barley in 1976 and re-released in 1990 under the name of Post 90.  It is a composite of 105 plant selection progenies from the variety "Post".

It is a mid-season, six-row, greenbug resistant winter barley developed for the specific purpose of combining the yield potential of Will with the straw strength of Harrison.  It is shorter than Will under most growing conditions, has excellent straw strength, and better than average straw quality.

Post is equal or superior to Will in winter-hardiness.  It is resistant to prevalent biotypes of the greenbug and exhibits a high level of tolerance to the barley yellow dwarf disease.
