Abstract

Malting barley is a specialized agricultural crop in which
high yields and quality are production objectives. We evaluated
the effects of different N rates on barley yields and selected
malting quality parameters grown on irrigated silt loam soils
(Xerollic calciorthids). Maximum barley yields having acceptable
malting quality parameters were obtained when the preplant soil
NO₃-N plus fertilizer N was between 100 to 120 kg N/ha. About 33
kg N/ha was taken up by the plants from the mineralization of soil
organic N. Higher available N levels decreased malting quality
parameters below acceptable levels. Germination percentage was
not changed by the different N rates.
