The second is the marked difference in population structure between six- and two-rowed barley types, which indicates that farmer management affects crop population structure, independent of the physical landscape.
Bergstrom leads a team that works to combat "vomitoxin" and other fungus-associated problems by studying the interplay of barley varieties with disease, toxins, fungicides and management practices.
Therefore, integration of organic and mineral amendments is recommended as best agronomic and economic optimum soil fertility management options for sustainable malting barley production in the southeastern highlands of Ethiopia.
This field experiment was, therefore, conducted to contribute for the development of appropriate nutrient management strategies that can sustain malting barley production, improve the livelihood of farmers and satisfy the increasing demands from the brewing industry in Ethiopia.
The goal of this study was to identify effects of farmers' seed exchange and management on the population structure of landrace barley in a traditional agricultural system in southern Ethiopia, using both farmer interviews and conservation genetic methods.
Six- and two-rowed barley populations have distinctly different population structures, suggesting that differential management and exchange strategies can lead to different spatial genetic patterns on the same physical landscape.
This is a critical week for management of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in winter malting barley.
Heifers were randomized in a 2 × 2 factorial design experiment with two dietary management treatments, where half the heifers were provided the feed components of steam rolled barley and barley silage either free choice or as a total mixed ration (TMR) containing 87% steam rolled barley and 13% barley silage with ad libitum vitamins and minerals via salt blocks for all animals.
Analysis of genotyping-by-sequencing data for more than 20,000 barley accessions from a German genebank provides a framework for genomics-assisted genebank management and analysis of large germplasm collections for important crops.
We find that differential farmer management strategies lead to markedly different patterns of population structure across elevation classes and barley types.
