BARLEY FARMING: Among the cool climate grains, it is the most cultivated species af-ter wheat. The main areas of use of barley are animal feed and malt industry. Barley, an important animal feed, has a usage amount of 95% of corn as feed. It is desired that feed barley has a high protein content. Too much husk reduces its nutritional value. The malt required for beer production is generally obtained from two-row white barley. Brewing barley should have a low protein content (9 - 10.5%).

CLIMATE REQUIREMENTS: It grows well in places with high relative humidity, not too hot and not too cold. Places where the temperature does not fall below zero degrees, does not rise above 18-20 degrees, and has a relative humidity of 70-80% are very suitable for barley. It is planted in Arab winter and summer crops and grows in 120-180 days.

SOIL REQUIREMENTS: The most suitable soils for barley are national, well-aerated, high water retention capacity, organic matter and neutral reaction soils. Barley is one of the leading field crops in terms of salt tolerance. Barley has the ability to produce high yields in good fields. However, it is productive in low fertility soils or barren are-as. Barley enters the milking and heading period 15-20 days before wheat. Therefore, its productivity is higher than wheat in dry areas because it is early.

PLANTING TIME AND PLANTING NORMS: Planting time is between February and March for summer planting and between 15 September and 15 October for winter planting. In planting with a seeder, 18 kg of barley is sown per decare, and in sowing by hand, 20 kg of barley is sown per decare.

FERTILIZATION: Nitrogen plays an important role in the nutrition of barley and forms the basis of protein. Increasing the yield of nitrogenous fertilizer depends on the presence of other nutrients such as Phosphorus, Potassium and Water. Among the grains, barley is the type that needs the most potassium. Phosphorus is beneficial to the plant from the very first moment. 18-20 kg Nitrogen, 12-14 kg Phosphorus and 14-18 kg Potassium per decare are suitable.

HARVEST AND THRESHING: In order to harvest barley, it is necessary to wait for the moisture content of the grain to fall below 15%. If the harvest of six-row barley is de-layed, ear breakage will occur. Ear breakage is not possible in two-row barley. Sick-les, scythes, combines or combine harvesters are used in harvesting.

FIGHTING AGAINST DISEASES AND PESTS Pestic smut is an important disease. There are three different types of strings: open strings, semi-open strings and closed strings. The appearance of open and semi-open straw in the field is similar to wheat straw. While healthy barley plants are in the flowering phase, open or semi-open ears of grain can initially be seen as a pile of black dust. However, if the spores are dis-persed by wind, the bare spike axis remains. It is not possible to distinguish open and semi-open smut diseases in the field. However, it is possible to distinguish them by germination experiments in the laboratory. Barley Covered Raspberry: It is a fungal disease. It is similar to wheat spread. The grains of the sick plant appear as solid and black pieces. Before planting, the seeds should be sprayed with mercury pesticides. Barley Open Rastıgı: It is a fungal disease. The ears of the sick plant are a mass of black powder. There is no drug struggle. Resistant varieties should be planted and crop rotation should be applied. Barley smut diseases cause losses of up to 29% on average in Central Anatolia. The surest way to protect against these damages is seed spraying. The seed must be sprayed before planting. Barley Leaf Spot: It occurs on winter barley in the Izmir region of Turkey. For this reason, as a result of infections that continue throughout the winter in Izmir, the disease reaches its maximum at the end of May-June. The disease disappears with the onset of summer heat and the har-vest of barley. Control: Diseased plants are destroyed. Alternation should be done. For this, 1 year of rotation is sufficient. Because stomata are very sensitive to low tem-peratures. Weed control should be done. Resistant varieties should be used. If the disease intensifies in the spring, such common plants should be sprayed with Tria-zole group fungicides before they take root. If the disease is transmitted to the seed, seed pesticide should also be applied.

Pests in Barley: Weeds: Weeds that are harmful to wheat also cause low productivity in barley. Weed control should be done when the weeds have 3-5 leaves.

HARVEST, THRESHING AND STORAGE: Delaying the harvest of barley both increases the yield and reduces the water content. Barley harvested before it is thoroughly dried will discolour between the hulls and quality will decrease. If harvesting is done with a scythe or sickle, the harvest should be started early in the morning in dewy weather to prevent breakage. The best harvest is made with a combine harvester. In this case, complete death should not be delayed too much. When harvesting with a combine harvester, the setting of the combine harvester becomes important to prevent the grain from breaking, especially in brewer's barley. The building to be used as a ware-house for barley storage should be a dry, airy and bright place that does not get damp. The moisture content of barley brought to storage should be 12 - 14%. The temperature of the warehouse should be around + 4°C. The barley to be placed in the warehouse should not contain foreign seeds in order to prevent estrus.
