The new two-rowed barley cultivar "Nishinohoshi" was developed at Kyushu National Agricultural Experiment Station, and registered as two - rowed barley Norin 18 in 1997. This cultivar was selected from the cross, Saikai Kawa 38/Tochikei 145, made in 1985. Nishinohoshi is an awned and hulled spring barley cultivar. compared with the standard cultivar, Nishinochikara, Nishinohoshi usually heads and becomes ripe 1 to 2 days earlier. Culm length is about 10cm shorter than that of Nishinochikara. Spike is moderately long and nutates with ripening. Though Nishinohoshi has a rather slender culm, it shows a superior lodging resistance. It has a larger spike number than Nishinochikara. Therefore Nishinohoshi gives higher yield than NiShinochikara. Nishinohoshi is highly resistant to Barley Yellow Mosaic Virus (BYMV) and powdery mildew, and moderately resistant to scab. Nishinohoshi has a soft grain with pearling properties superior to those of Nishinochikara, and is suitable as a material for Japanese spirit, "Shochu". Based on yield trials performed in several prefectural experiment stations, Nishinohoshi was found to be adapted to flat areas of the western part of Japan. This cultivar has been registered as a recommended cultivar for Fukuoka, Nagasaki and Oita prefectures since 1997
