greenbug isolate avirulent to Wintermalt. Subsequent work by Ogecha et al. (1992) confirmed that biotype G Most biotypes of the greenbug [Schizaphis graminum (Rondani)] was less successful in feeding on Wintermalt compared are extremely damaging to barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). However, with other biotypes. When compared with biotypes E greenbug biotype G has been reported to be unable to succes...

Amarowicz R., Żegarska Z., Pegg R. B., Karamać M., Kosińska A. (2007): Antioxidant and radical scavenging activities of a barley crude extract and its fraction. Czech J. Food Sci., 25: 73–80. Phenolic compounds were extracted from the Candle variety of hull-less waxy barley with 80% (v/v) methanol to yield a crude preparation. Seven fractions (I–VII) were separated from the barley extract so ob...

Abstract Nowadays consumers are looking for new food products with added nutritional value. Therefore, producers and scientists develop recipes technologies the aim to enrich fibres, vitamins, probiotics. Since naked barley contains high concentration of soluble dietary fibre, including β-glucans, which have stabilising properties, it has a good potential fermented dairy development. The goal c...

High intake of dietary fiber is claimed to protect against development of colorectal cancer. Barley is a rich source of dietary fiber, and possible immunomodulatory effects of barley polysaccharides might explain a potential protective effect. Dietary fiber was isolated by extraction and enzyme treatment. A mixed-linked β-glucan (WSM-TPX, 96.5% β-glucan, Mw 886 kDa), an arabinoxylan (WUM-BS-LA,...

Broadcast plantings of nonhost cultivars (alfalfa, barley, bean, onion, potato, and wheat) in soil in redwood boxes (4.2 x 30 x 14 cm) infested with Heterodera schachtii reduced the initial nematode populations (P = 0.05). The reduction was greater with sugarbeets, a host, than with all other cropping treatments except onion, bean, and fallow (P = 0.05). After 80 days, when the root growth of a...

High intake of dietary fiber is claimed to protect against development of colorectal cancer. Barley is a rich source of dietary fiber, and possible immunomodulatory effects of barley polysaccharides might explain a potential protective effect. Dietary fiber was isolated by extraction and enzyme treatment. A mixed-linked -glucan (WSM-TPX, 96.5% -glucan, Mw 886 kDa), an arabinoxylan (WUM-BS-LA, 9...

Annual medic is an annual crop which performs well in various forage cropping systems. However availability of medic seeds is a major challenge for livestock producers in Iran. This study was conducted to determine if intercropping annual medic with barley can produce supplement medic seeds while barley grain yield as the main crop is not compromised. Two experiments were carried out at the exp...
