Variety traits

Barley plant height

Hordeum vulgare L.

An important morphological trait of barley that determines lodging resistance and yield potential. Height is measured from the soil surface to the tip of the spike, excluding awns.

In the reference 860 varieties crop Barley, where this is mentioned in the description.

In barley breeding practice, measurements are taken starting from the mass heading phase. According to the VIR classification, varieties are divided into groups: dwarf (less than 60 cm), semi-dwarf (60.1–80 cm), short (80.1–100 cm), medium-height (100.1–120 cm), and tall (more than 120 cm). Modern commercial varieties are more often in the 60–90 cm range.

Height is directly correlated with lodging resistance: tall forms are most prone to lodging under excessive nitrogen fertilization, which reduces yield by 25–60% and impairs grain quality. At the same time, excessive reduction in height during drought years may limit the realization of biological yield potential.
