Investigating the scope for managing the root system of Spring barley crops to improve performance on drought-prone soils
Series: Home-Grown Cereals Authority Project Report ; No. 316Publication details: London : Home-Grown Cereals Authority (HGCA), 2003Subject(s): Cereal farming | Cereal farming, cereals marketing, grains | Cereal cultivation | Spring cereals | Spring barley | Spring crops | BarleyDDC classification: 633.16 Summary: The aims of this project were to investigate the potential for managing the root system of spring barley, through variety choice and the use of plant growth regulators. A particular objective was to provide the industry with targets for the scale of change needed to a cereal root system to access more water, and the possible yield benefits that might arise. The project involved a combination of controlled environment, glasshouse and field experiments.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
