Disease resistance
Static has exceptional resistance to mildew plus very good resistance to brown rust and BYDV. Static has reasonable resistance to Rhynchosporium, however a specific treatment may be required in high-risk situations.

Fungicide use
Getting early to mid season agronomy right is crucial to establishing a healthy crop.
- T0 - The T0 spray prevents diseases gaining a foothold in long growing seasons or where disease pressure is high. The use of Unix helps keep Rhynchosporium and mildew at bay.
- T1 - T1 timing is key for protecting the canopy during the plants main burst of growth. Advanced Unix + Acanto provides broad spectrum disease control. Consider using triazole for curative Rhynchosporium control when a T0 has not been used in an extremely high disease pressure year.
- T2 - Managing late season plant health is also vitally important to ensure a healthy harvest. This is the time to protect grain fill. Awns and green leaf areas are key targets. Strobilurins protect against foliar diseases. Chlorothalonil has demonstrated control of biotic and abiotic spotting.
Core fungicide programme
- T0 - Unix and Tern (should be used where Rhynchosporium disease pressure is high)
- T1 - Acanto and Unix
- T2 - Amistar Opti + Triazole
Agronomic information
A reliable variety with very good overall agronomics. Static is medium maturing with excellent straw length, top standing power and excellent resistance to ear loss, making it an easy to grow, cost effective variety.

Growth habit
- Early Spring: Semi-prostrate with very fast establishment
- Tillering ability: Medium to high
- Maturity: Medium
Drilling dates
- Suitability for early drilling: Good
- Optimum drilling date: February to March
- Suitability for late drilling (April): Very good
Recommended sowing rate
Seed rates are dependent on soil conditions, rotation and the time of drilling: the more difficult the environment the higher the seed rate must be to compensate for potential plant loss. The table below shows the suggested number of seeds per square metre that should be planted under good conditions.
The chart above should always be used in conjunction with the thousand-grain weight of the seed to
calculate the sowing rate.
Nitrogen application
When growing feed spring barley crops, it is important to have high nutrient supply, as a base apply 10 – 15% extra than an Optic crop grown for malting. Seed bed applications are not so important for feed varieties and therefore Nitrogen should be a split dose of 50% at GS 11/12 and 50% at GS 21/22.

PGRs
Syngenta Seeds advise the use on very lush crops or fertile sites. Low rate Moddus (0.1 – 0.2 l/ha) at GS29-30 to stabilise tillers and promote root development.
Quality
Feed variety with excellent quality straw.
Grain quality
Specific weight: 68.8
Sieving % through: 2.25mm - 2.4%
Sieving % through: 2.5mm - 8.0%
TGW: Good
Harvesting priority
Normal harvest priority - Static has excellent resistance to ear loss, but it is always advisable to harvest the crop in the best condition as soon as moisture is correct
