Variety traits
Hordeum vulgare L.
An indicator of the physical quality of barley, reflecting the bulk density of grain mass in grams per liter, which serves as a metric for plumpness, endosperm density, and potential product yield.
In the reference 103 varieties crop Barley, where this is mentioned in the description.
For barley, test weight is a critical indicator of kernel plumpness, which serves as evidence of a high nutrient content. The typical range for the crop is 510–640 g/l, although depending on varietal characteristics and growing conditions, values can reach 680–716 g/l. Standard quality benchmarks for barley lots are typically set at approximately 530–630 g/l.
Barley test weight is significantly influenced by weather conditions during the grain-filling phase, particularly temperature regimes and moisture availability. A decrease in this metric is generally caused by the presence of shriveled, underdeveloped grain, high moisture content, or weed impurities, while adherence to agronomic practices and balanced mineral nutrition contribute to achieving maximum plumpness and high grain mass density.
