AWNLESS STRAIN 3 
(Pedigreed) 
Strain 3 is the most recent of the Marett Awnless Barley strains, and 
in our tests has shown some advantage in yield over previous offerings. 
The new strain retains high resistance to Stripe and Mildew. 
Awnless Strain 3 is characterized by good yields of fine quality grain, 
good vegetative growth and fair straw. For grazing and hay production 
this variety is still one of the best. While not as well adapted to combine 
harvest as Calhoun or Sunrise it still may be harvested by this method 
provided close timing of maturity and harvest are observed. 
As is true of barleys in general Awnless should be planted only on 
fertile lands and properly fertilized. At least 2 bushels of seed should 
be used per acre and seed should not be covered over 1142” deep. Awnless 
Barley is not recommended for coastal sections of the Southeast.
