Topsoil depth is an indirect indicator of soil quality and crop productivity. A 2-yr field study was conducted in north-central Alberta with the following objectives: (1) to determine aboveground barley dry matter yield, N uptake, and fertilizer-use efficiency (FUE) in two artificially eroded soils of contrasting properties, and (2) to assess the effectiveness of KNO3 and urea in compensating for lost productivity. Field experiments were conducted on an Orthic Gray Luvisol (Site 1) and on an Eluviated Black Chernozem (Site 2) in 1991 and 1992. The treatments consisted of three depths of topsoil removal (0, 10 and 20 cm) and three N fertilizers (KNO3 and urea at 150 kg N ha−1, and the control). The plots were sown to barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Yields and N uptake of aboveground barley dry matter decreased with each increment of topsoil removal and were lowest in the 20-cm topsoil removal. Fertilizer N improved yields and N uptake at each depth of erosion. In most of the erosion treatments barley yields and N uptake tended to be greater with KNO3 than with urea. The effectiveness of each N source, however, varied with site. At the 20-cm depth of erosion, KNO3 was more effective than urea. The trend in fertilizer-use efficiency increased with depth of erosion at Site 1 but decreased at Site 2. Key words: Artificial erosion, barley, fertilizer-use efficiency, potassium nitrate, urea

Seed longevity of 76 spring barley gene pool samples (Hordeum vulgare L. subsp. distichon, convar. distichon: 56 nutans Schubl., two deficience (Steud.) Koern., two erectum Rode ex Shuebl., two medicum Koern.; convar. nudum (L.) A.Trof.: one nudum L. та subsp. vulgare: convar. vulgare: nine pallidum Ser., three rikotense Regel.; convar. coeleste (L.) A.Trof.: one coeleste (L.) A.Trof.) from 26 countries, 11 years and four places of reproduction was analyzed. Seeds with 5–8% moisture content were stored in chamber with unregulated and 4oC temperature. The possibility of seed storage under these conditions for at least 10 years without significant changes in germination has been established. The importance of meteorological conditions in the formation and ripening of seeds for their longevity is confirmed. The relationship between the decrease of barley seeds longevity and storage conditions, amount of rainfall, temperature regime during the growing season of plants is discussed.

Arabinoxylan and beta-glucan contents are limiting factors for a wider use of barley production. Arabinoxylan and beta-glucan contents were assessed in grain samples in sets of seven malting hulled varieties, three hull-less lines and one hull-less spring variety grown in the localities of Branišovice, Žabčice, and Kroměříž in 2009 to 2011. Further, the effect of growing technologies on the level of these non-starch polysaccharides was studied. Variability of arabinoxylan contents was affected most significantly by a genotype and growing technology whereas variability of beta-glucan contents was mostly affected by a genotype and growing environment (interaction of year with locality). The highest values of arabinoxylans and beta-glucans were determined in the grain samples of hull-less lines (KM 1057: 6.16% of arabinoxylans and KM 2084: 6.41% of beta-glucans) and on the contrary, the lowest values of arabinoxylans were found in the grain of hull-less variety AF Lucius (3.85%) and lowest amounts of beta-glucans were found in malting variety Radegast (3.92%). The samples of the growing technology without fungicide treatment had on average more arabinoxylans and beta-glucans than the fungicide non-treated ones.
