We’ve been selecting Gopal for tillering for the last 4 years, and although yields are typically lower for 2 row barley, our Gopal has exceeded well over 100 tillers with overall yields now comparable to 6 row varieties.

Gopal is free threshing but does require a bit more effort compared to 6 row types.

Our experiments with fall planting barley have shown that Gopal has the potential to survive winter where snow pack coverage is less than 4 months.
