Description

This book describes the growth and development of the barley plant from germination to grain-filling.

The environmental factors and management actions that influence each growth stage are a practical reference for managing crops.

The aim of Barley growth and development is to link plant physiology and crop management.

It will help agronomists and farmers to understand the life cycle of the barley plant and the factors that influence growth and development, and to identify the growth stages of the plant.

This knowledge can then be applied to crop management to maximise yield and profit.

There are four chapters in the book covering the progression of key stages in the life cycle of the barley plant, its growth and management.

Included in each chapter are practical exercises to demonstrate how knowledge of plant physiology can be applied in the paddock.

Chapter 1 Germination, emergence and establishment
Chapter 2 Vegetation growth and plant development
Chapter 3 Reproductive development
Chapter 4 Grain development
