EFFECTS OF ACETATES ON MALTING BARLEY

Effect of Barley yellow dwarf virus Infection on Yield and Malting Quality of Barley

Barley yellow dwarf (BYD), the most common and widespread virus disease of cereal crops worldwide (14), may be caused by any one of several Barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDVs) of the family Luteoviridae. Transmitted by at least 25 aphid species (24), these viruses historically have been classified into two subgroups and five strains based on aphid vector specificity and efficiency (31). However...

Simulation of yield and quality of malting barley

A computer simulation model was developed to determine the likely response of grain yield and quality of malting barley crops to differing availability of water or nitrogen (N) and differing soil and climatic conditions. The model was validated for New Zealand conditions by comparing the results of model simulations with data from malting barley crops grown in the Manawatu. Simulations were the...

Influence of barley malting operating parameters on T-2 and HT-2 toxinogenesis of Fusarium langsethiae, a worrying contaminant of malting barley in Europe.

The fungus Fusarium langsethiae, exclusively described in Europe at present, seems to have taken the place of other Fusarium species in barley fields over the last 5 years. It has proved to be a highly toxic type-A trichothecene producer (T-2 and HT-2 toxins). The aim of this work was to study the ecotoxinogenesis of this fungus the better to identify and manage the health risk it may pose duri...

Evaluation of Malting Barley Potential for Atlantic Canada

Study of the Effects of Pre-harvest Sprouting on the Storability and 1 Malting Quality of Three Canadian Malting Barley Varieties

10 Variations in the germination and malting performance during storage of three Canadian 11 malting barley varieties AC Metcalfe, CDC Kendall and CDC Copeland, which had 12 suffered from different degrees of pre-harvest sprouting damage (PHSD) at harvest, 13 were examined. These barley samples were collected in Saskatchewan, Canada during 14 two successive crop years (2007-2008). During storag...
