TROON was added to the HGCA UK Recommended List in 2003
and currently has a specific Recommended for the North-East region.
Troon is an early, high yielding, stiff strawed spring malting variety
with excellent resistance to mildew and yellow rust.
Troon has a high hot water extract, which combined with its good
specific weight and low screening levels make it a very interesting
option for spring barley growers. Troon is fully approved by the
Institute of Brewing & Distilling (IBD) for malt distilling.
