A new malting barley variety, “Daho”, was developed from the cross between “Milyang85 and Suwon335” at the Department
of Rice and Winter Cereal Crop (DRWCC) NICS, in 2007. An elite line, YMB2064-B-8-2-4-1-1, was selected in 2004
and designated as “Milyang134”. It showed good agronomic performance in the regional adaptation yield trials (RYT) from 2005
to 2007 and was released with the name of “Daho”, having high yielding and BaYMV resistance. The average heading and maturing
dates of “Daho” were April 19 and May 27, which were 2 days later and 1 day earlier than those of "Jinyang", leading variety,
at the regional adaptation yield trials (RYT), respectively. “Daho” had longer culm length (84 cm), more spikes per m2 (915)
and higher 1,000 grain weight (39.2 g) than those of “Jinyang” in paddy field condition. “Daho” was showed resistance to BaYMV
at the regions of Naju, Jinju, and Milyang but moderately resistance at Iksan. However, the response of “Daho” to other environmental
stresses was similar to “Jinyang”. The yields of “Daho” at upland and paddy fields were about 5.20 MT/ha, 4.81 MT/ha,
respectively, which is about 38%, 25% higher than those of “Jinyang” in the regional adaptation yield trials (RYT), respectively.
It has higher grain assortment, germination capacity, water sensitivity and Kolback index but lower malt extract, diastatic power
and filtration speed than those of “Jinyang”.
