Malt Barley

Application of synthetic compounds seed dressing enhancing yield and yield components of crops but it is becoming very expensive for resource poor farmers beside this; these also have a negative effect on the natural environment. Thus, the current field and laboratory experiment was conducted during the 2018 main cropping season for testing the potential of locally available plant extracts; garlic (Allium sativum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), neem seed (Azadracta indica), varnonia leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) and crouton leaf (Crouton macrostachya) as seed priming materials on malt barley. Three levels of each priming material (5%, 10% and 15 % concentration) were prepared and full sized malt barley seeds were soaked for 12hrs in these priming materials. Seed dressing chemical (Dynamic 400 FS), distilled water soaked seeds, and dry seeds were used as a control for the field experiment. Primed seeds with all concentrations of botanicals, including distilled water and dynamic dressing chemical had a significant enhancing effect on agronomic parameters of malt barley under both laboratory and field conditions except for the effect of ginger extract priming which negatively affected the agronomic parameters as compared to dry planted (untreated) seeds. However, there was clear variation among botanical extracts and this is depending on their concentration and types of used botanicals. Among the tested botanicals, all three levels of garlic extracts have a significant enhancing effect on all agronomic parameters and this was followed by the neem. From the result of this study, seed priming with naturally available plant materials were found to improve yield and yield components of malt barley where for this particular experiment, all levels of garlic performed best as compared to other priming materials.

Winter Wheat Cultivars

Two cultivars of soft white winter wheat, Fredrick and Yorkstar, were sown at rates of 34, 67, 101, 134 and 168 kg/ha on or near 24 Sept., 9 Oct. and 23 Oct. in each of the 3 yr 1973–1975, at Ridgetown, Ontario. Highest net yields were obtained with rate of seeding 134 kg/ha. Seeding rate did not affect lodging. Yield per hectare and spikes per hectare were positively correlated while kernels per spike and spikes per hectare were negatively correlated. However, as the rate of seeding was increased, the increase in the number of spikes per hectare was greater than the accompanying decrease in kernels per spike, resulting in a net overall increase in yield. Highest yields of Fredrick were obtained near 9 Oct. and those of Yorkstar near 24 Sept. Yields decreased more rapidly with delayed seeding when seeding rates were less than 134 kg/ha, especially with Yorkstar. Test weight of Yorkstar was low, especially when sown late. Fredrick yielded 3–25% more than Yorkstar. A delay in seeding beyond 9 Oct. resulted in a yield reduction of 23 kg/ha/day. Fredrick should be sown instead of Yorkstar when seeding is delayed beyond recommended dates of seeding.
