Variety traits

Vegetation period of barley

Hordeum vulgare L.

This is an adaptive trait ranging from seedling emergence to full maturity, which is critical for selecting varieties suited to the climatic conditions of a region.

In the reference 189 varieties crop Barley, where this is mentioned in the description.

The duration of the period is measured in days and depends on the crop type: for spring barley, it ranges from 65 to 120 days, while for winter barley, it spans from 230 to 290 days. In breeding and variety trials, interphase periods such as "emergence to heading" and "heading to maturity" are also assessed for precision, with the sum of active temperatures being recorded.

Knowledge of the vegetation period allows agronomists to select varieties capable of avoiding adverse factors, such as summer droughts or early frosts. Since barley is a long-day plant, its development is strongly dependent on photoperiodic response, as well as the level of agronomic practices, temperature, and moisture availability, all of which can influence the maturation dates of a specific variety.
