Booma barley seed is available now from both Luisetti Seeds and Stapletons. We recommend Booma for Autumn and Winter sowing. Booma may also be sown in the spring on heavy land or under irrigation.
Booma has an extremely high potential yield, much of this yield potential comes from the number of grains (rather than grain size). Booma, therefore, performs best with early sowings in medium to high input situations where grain fill can be maximised to achieve high yields.
Raxil or Raxil Poncho Booma may be ordered from your Luisetti Seeds or Stapletons representative for immediate dispatch from Ashburton or Rangiora.
