UC Shaller is a spring, six-row, hooded barley developed for use in forage mixtures or as a dual-purpose grain or silage variety. As a hooded barley, Schaller does not have awns that can be harmful to grazing animals.  The later maturity of Schaller makes it better suited for forage and for mixtures with later maturing oat and wheat. Schaller is more resistant to Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV) and barley stripe rust (BSR).
