Abstract
The work presents a significant influence of nitrogen fertilization on grain yield and quality of spring barley. Under soil conditions in the fields of the Experimental Station Grabów fertilization with 60 kg N/ha resulted in increasing the yield of barley grain by 1.4 t/ha (37%), compared to the treatment with no nitrogen fertilization. This effect was mainly due to the greater number of spikes per area unit and the marked increase in a number of grains per spike. At the same time, the protein content of grain increased, whereas the grain filling and extractivity declined. The plants treated with high nitrogen doses were characterized by better nourishment with nitrogen, as shown by laboratory estimates for percentage of N in dry matter, NNI (Nitrogen Nutrition Index) and SPAD readings. For malting barley cv. Rudzik, a critical value for chlorophyll content estimated with N-tester HYDRO (scale 0–800) in the period between full tillering stage EC 25 and elongation of leaf sheath EC 41 was determined at the level of about 465 SPAD units. According to the brewery norms, barley with such a value of SPAD is considered to be optimally nourished. The critical SPAD value to obtain the maximum grain yield is slightly higher (474 units).
