Soil

Barley is among the cereal grains that require the fewest inputs (fertilizer and phytosanitary products). To rationalize and limit the use of these inputs as much as possible, Malteurop’s teams of agronomists accompany growers in putting rigorous growing itineraries in place. Growers adhere to a positive and restrictive list of the crops protection products they are allowed to use.

This approach also meets the requirements of the brewers, who need precise, carefully monitored measurements of frequency and dosage.

Malteurop, committed to the increasingly demanding requirements in the area of respect for the environment and sustainable development, strongly encourages a process of certification of agricultural operations based on the principles of reasonable farming.
