“…Stabile yields and a good quality of spring barley are dependent on the weather conditions of the year, the soil type and many agronomical factors (Conry 1994). The order of these factors has not been exactly specified.…”

In the years [2001][2002][2003] in field trials we studied the effects of the conditions of year, fore-crops (winter wheat, sugarbeet, grain maize) and optimalization of the nutritional status on the yield and crude protein content in the grain of spring barley. From the analysis of the plants we can see that dry ma�er production and nutrient concentration in the plants were influenced by the conditions of the year and the fore-crop. A�er sugar beet, the growth of the dry ma�er was intensive and the concentrations of nutrients per one plant were higher as early as in the initial stages of vegetation. The yields in the years 2001 and 2002 corresponded with these results while the highest yields were seen a�er the sugar beet. Due to the extreme lack of precipitation, the best fore-crop in 2003 was maize. While the dose of 50 kg N/ha increased the yields a�er maize, a�er wheat it reduced the yields and increased the crude protein content in the grain.

“…The annual variability often has a greater effect on grain yield and malting quality than the applied treatments (e.g. McTaggart & Smith, 1992;Conry, 1994). In the current experiments, these variance components including the effect of year were used as error terms for statistically testing the main effects and their interactions.…”

“…A similar slope for the linear response was recorded for nine Rothamsted experiments (Carreck & Christian, 1992), and a slope of 0.026 (s.e. 0.0016, r 2 0/0.98) was calculated based on the results of Conry (1994) from nine experiments in the UK. Relating the recorded protein concentration to the thresholds, a fertilizer rate of 50 kg N ha (1 is inadequate and 80 kg N ha (1 gives a quality just below the threshold range.…”

Placement of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers by drilling in spring barley grown for malt without use of pesticides

The increasing consumer demand for food products that are produced without the use of pesticides are reflected in action plans to reduce the use of pesticides in agriculture. Most of the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) produced is used for pig feed but some is used for malting Á the primary step in the production of beer. The effects of fertilizer application method, type and rate on yield and grain quality were investigated in a malting barley crop without the use of pesticides. Twelve treatments, where single and multiple nutrient fertilizers were either broadcast or placed in bands by drilling, were compared in a field experiment at two sites in Denmark during 1993 Á96. Weeds were controlled mechanically in all treatments, and chemical control of foliar fungal diseases and insects was only carried out in two treatments. The placement of a compound NPK-fertilizer increased the grain yield and the quality parameters grain size and grading when weeds are controlled mechanically by harrowing. The effect of fertilizer placement on grain yield and quality decreased in the order NPK /NP /N/P. Herbicide-free growing of malting barley may be possible using fertilizer placement, but the use of chemical control of foliar fungal diseases and insects may be critical when pests exceed certain thresholds as they significantly reduce grain yield, grain size and grading. The aim of growing malting barley satisfactorily without the use of pesticides was only partly met.

“…Fertiliser N is a key input in the production of barley, which affects both grain yield and grain quality. The effects of fertiliser N rate on both grain yield and the grain quality of spring barley have received considerable attention under Irish conditions (Conry, 1994;1995a;1997), but the effects of altering the timing, size and number of applications have received less attention. Grain protein concentration (GPC) is a key quality criterion in malting barley production, and failure to meet the required GPC specifications leads to rejection of the crop for malting.…”

“…GPC is a function of grain yield and grain N accumulation, both of which are strongly influenced by fertiliser N application. Although the total amount of fertiliser N applied often has the largest effect on both yield and GPC, the number of applications used to apply the N and the timing of those applications can have significant effects also (Needham, 1983;Easson, 1984;Conry, 1994;McTaggart and Smith, 1995).…”

Effect of nitrogen fertiliser application timing on grain yield and grain protein concentration of spring barley

There is relatively little recent information regarding the effect of timing of fertiliser N application to spring barley on grain yield and grain protein concentration (GPC) under Irish conditions. The objectives of this work were to examine the effects of a) timing of the first N application to spring barley (at sowing or at crop emergence), b) altering the proportion of the total N allocation that is applied in the first of two applications and c) delaying a portion of the total N dose until after the tillering phase on grain yield and GPC of spring barley. Twenty experiments were carried out over four seasons (2011–2014) in the south and south-east of Ireland. Results indicated that there was little consistent difference, in terms of grain yield or GPC between applying the first N at sowing compared to where the initial N application was made at crop emergence. Similarly, altering the proportion of N applied in the first application, irrespective of whether the first application was at sowing or at crop emergence, had little effect on either yield or GPC. Delaying the application of a portion (0.2) of the total N until after the tillering stage also had little consistent effect on either yield or GPC. It is concluded that where the majority of N is applied to spring barley before the end of the tillering stage, altering the timing of applications or the proportion of the total applied in each application will have limited effect on grain yield or GPC.
