Differences between nine spring barley cultivars on structural and functional parameters of PSII operation are shown. Variability the used changed from 2.2…2.5 (oxidized quinones pool maximum photochemical efficiency) to 24.6% (performance index PI ABS_total ). Parameters characterizing values excitation energy fluxes (ABS/RC; TRo/RC; ETo/RC) varied a small extent - 3.1...6.5%, while lost (DIo/...

Pea is a temperate grain legume cultivated worldwide that can be severely constrained by powdery mildew infection. Control fungicides and the use of resistant cultivars possible, but there growing interest in alternative control methods such as crop diversification, particularly low input agriculture. The aim this work was to assess potential intercropping pea with other crops cultivar mixtures...

Thirty-five crossbred barrows averaging 13.5 kg starting BW were used in a 35-d experiment to compare the availability of P and the nutritional value of two near-isogenic progeny of the barley cultivar 'Harrington'. Low-phytic acid barley (LPB, 0.35% total P, 0.14% phytic acid P) was homozygous for the low-phytic acid 1-1 allele, and the normal barley (NB, 0.35% total P, 0.24% phytic acid P) wa...

A study was undertaken to determine the effects of different biofertilizers on growth and seed barley, Bahman cultivar in Iran. The trial was laid out in RCBD with split plot arrangement having three replications during 2011-12 and at Boroujerd, Iran. Treatments were three nitrogen biofrtilizers (Nitroksin, Nitrokara and Supernitroplass) and three phosphate  biofrtilizers (Phosphate barvar2, Bi...

Small grains crop yield and quality losses resulting from Fusarium head blight (FHB) continue to threaten the economic sustainability of many small grains producers in Minnesota. Spring wheat breeders have made some progress in developing cultivars with moderate levels of disease resistance, but increased resistance in barley has not been achieved. Crop rotation and a timely application of fung...

Climate change is expected to have a major effect on crop production in sub-Saharan Africa. Crop models can help guide management under future climate. The objective of the study was investigate possible effects climate Ethiopian barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) using Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT)-Crop Environment Resource Synthesis (CERES)-Barley model. included field ...
