SummaryIn experiments over 3 years (1974–6) cow slurry in the range 0–112·5 t/ha and ammonium nitrate in the range 0–120 kg N/ha were applied to field plots factorially to test the effects on the yield and quality of spring barley grain.In 1974 slurry application markedly improved the grain yield (cv. Golden Promise) at each rate of inorganic N and increased grain size. Applying N fertilizer with more than 37·5 t slurry/ha reduced grain yield below the maximum. Grain with the highest crude protein content (15·1 %) was obtained from a combination of slurry and inorganic N. The residual effects of the slurry treatments gave satisfactory grain yields in 1975 without additional fertilizer.Grain yields (cvs Julia and Abacus) in other experiments carried out on a different soil type in 1975 and 1976 were approximately half those obtained in 1974, due in part to drought conditions. The pattern of the results was similar. Heaviest grain yields were harvested from plots receiving 70 t slurry/ha with no additional N.

SUMMARYA study, conducted in the Peace region of Canada, determined the effects of the stand and management treatments of four herbage experiments (1986–88) on the yield and quality of subsequent crops of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) harvested in 1989 and 1990. Quantitative relationships indicated that the crop management treatments most conducive to good yield and quality of herbage were also the most beneficial for subsequent high yield and quality of the barley grain. Unless designs orthogonal to those previously used can be found, covariance adjustment procedures are recommended to minimize the residual effects of previous experiments.

SUMMARYMixtures of legumes and cereals in various proportions (seed ratios) were evaluated in Northern Syria for forage production and quality and for yield of barley grain in the following year. Both a vetch-cereal and pea-cereal mix were tested in proportions of 0:100, 33:66, 50:50, 66:33 and 100:0. The study was carried out between 1982 and 1985, covering two seasons for forage production and two for grain production. Dry matter yields of the mixtures exceeded the yield of either one or both components of the mixture grown as pure stands, depending on the rainfall. The maximum overall yield and quality of forage was recorded for the 66:33 legume-cereal combination. The greatest benefit to subsequent barley grain yield was realized when the legume was grown in a pure stand or formed a high proportion (66:33) of the mixture. Herbage quality was better in forages containing vetch than in those containing pea.

The objective of the research study was to determine the effect of nitrogen fertilisation level on changes in the technological value of five spring barley cultivars intended for food production. A pot experiment with spring barley was performed in the greenhouse run by the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation. The barley cultivars studied were compared for the quantity and quality of grain yield including their response to three levels of nitrogen fertilisation (NH4NO3): 1, 2 and 3 g N/pot. The nitrogen fertilisation level proved to have a significant effect on the yield and quality of grains of the barley cultivars examined. With the increase in the nitrogen dose levels to 3 g/pot, a significant increase was reported in the grain yield and number of spikes per pot in all the spring barley cultivars, however there was a decrease in the weight of 1000 kernels. The levels of nitrogen fertilisation and the barley cultivars proved to have a significant impact on the contents of total dietary fibre (TDF) and (1,3)(1,4)-β-D-glucans but no interaction was found between the level of fertilisation and the cultivar. Significantly higher contents of TDF and (1,3)(1,4)-β-D-glucans were reported in the examined spring barley cultivars at a dose of 2 and 3 g N/pot compared to 1 g N/pot. With the increase in the nitrogen dose to 3 g N/pot, a significant increase was reported in the protein content in all the cultivars. Owing to the highest contents of dietary fibre and (1,3)(1,4)-β-D-glucans, and to a high protein content, the ‘Bordo’ and ‘Tocada’ varieties can be recommended as the best varieties to produce food.

Abstract The results of experiments on studying the effect of the growth regulator Zerebra Agro on the grain yield of spring barley, the chemical composition of plants, the quality of the grain and the amino acid composition of the protein when cultivated according to different predecessors on meadow-chernozem soil in the conditions of the Omsk region are presented. Field studies were carried out in 2014-2016. on the fields of the educational and experimental farm of the Omsk State Agrarian University, and laboratory at the Department of Agrochemistry and Soil Science of Omsk State Agrarian University. Vvariety of spring barley – Gift of Siberia. Predecessors – steam and wheat, agricultural technics – common for the zone The use of the growth regulator Zerebra Agro at a dose of 150 ml/ha made it possible to form an increase in the yield of barley grain when cultivating barley after wheat in steam – 0,27 t/ha and 0,31 t/ha when cultivated with the second crop after steam (in the control variant, the yield was for a pair of 2.82 t/ha, for wheat 1.72 t/ha). The applied growth regulator had a positive effect on the grain quality of spring barley.
