BARLEY

The first requirement in the production of any crop is to see that soil conditions are as close to the optimum as possible. Barley prefers well-drained soils, light to medium in texture with a high pH. When fertility is high and weather conditions are favourable high yielding crops of good qual­ity are obtained.

When barley is grown in the wetter areas of Britain, it does best when the rainfall is below normal and when sun­shine hours are higher than usual.

Low rainfall in April and early May and cool weather in May is required for high yields. High rainfall in the pre­vious winter appeared detrimental and warm dry weather was required during ripening.

Winter barley is often sown after early harvested sugar beet on the lighter soils, since seed-beds can often be easily and quickly prepared for sowing in October and November. With large acreage of arable land in cereals, many crops of winter barley will go in after spring cereals. Spring barley may fol­low almost any other crop provided the land is not in too high a state of fertility, otherwise wide-spread lodging can result.

For winter barley ploughing will normally take place in September or immediately following the harvest of the previous crop, wherever possible earlier turning of the soil being recommended. Where stubble from the previous crop is to be turned in together with weed-seedlings which have germinated as a result of stubble-cleaning, then it may be necessary to plough to a depth of six inches. Barley is a rela­tively shallow-rooting cereal and without a great deal of material to be turned over the depth of ploughing might well be reduced to four inches.

The optimum depth of drilling is in the region of 1-1.5 inches. Placing the seed much deeper can result in lower field germination, an irregular emergence and plants which come through the ground in a feeble condition having used up most of the nutrients from the seed before they reach the light.
