Abstract
The malting quality of spring barley was evaluated for the home-bred cultivars from ZD HAR Bąków, ZD HAR Strzelce, SHR Modzurów, HR Polanowice and HR „Piast” Łagiewnik in the years 1997–1999. Barley grain came from preliminary and pre-preliminary experiments performed in three locations each year. Coefficients of variability (CV%) and variability coefficients of phenotypic (CV (p)%) and genotypic (CV (g)%) variation were determined for 1000 grain mass, grain filling, total grain protein, and after micromalting, for percentage of total and soluble protein of the malt, Kolbach index, extractability, wort viscosity, diastatic power and final fermentation degree. The influence of interaction effect of objects with localities was highest for diastatic power. The heritability expressed was high for thousand-grain weight, malt fragility and diastatic power.
