Twenty-eight varieties of two- and six-row spring malting barley were trialed at two locations in Maine in 2018 (Table 1<\/a>).\u00a0The trials were conducted in collaboration with 9 other institutions as part of the Eastern Spring Barley Nursery project (ESBN), organized by North Dakota State University and funded by the Brewers Association. This is the fourth year of these malt barley variety trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

METHODS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The trials were conducted at the University of Maine Rogers Research Farm, in Old Town, and a commercial farm in Westfield.\u00a0 Agronomic practices for both locations are described in Table 2<\/a>.\u00a0 Agronomic and basic grain quality data were collected by the University of Maine and grain samples were submitted to North Dakota State University for comprehensive grain and malt quality analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

RESULT<\/strong>S<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Conditions were very dry in May during emergence and early crop growth, with Old Town and Westfield receiving only 1.2\u201d and 1.9\u201d of rain, respectively (Table 4).\u00a0 Dry conditions persisted throughout the growing season at both locations, however Westfield wasn\u2019t as severe as Old Town. \u00a0Symptoms of drought stress were observed in the form of delayed and variable emergence, yellowing of leaves and incomplete spike emergence.\u00a0 Incomplete spike emergence is a stress related condition in barley where the spike stops emerging from the stalk at or below the flag leaf.\u00a0 This condition was visually ranked. All varieties at both locations showed this symptom to a varying degree with the exception of Pinnacle and Robust at the Old Town site (Table 3).<\/p>\n

Grain yield was lower on average at Old Town (72 bu\/acre) versus Westfield (93 bu\/acre) (Table 3<\/a>). There were no significant differences in yield among the varieties in Old Town. In Westfield, Esma yielded the highest (106 bu\/acre). Foliar diseases, measured at the Old Town location only, were moderate to low likely due to the dry conditions. Pinnacle, a variety that is highly susceptible to foliar diseases had a ranking of only 4 (Table 3<\/a>). Grain moisture was measured at harvest and averaged 14.9% at Old Town and 20.8% at Westfield. ND Genesis had the highest grain moisture at Old Town (16.1%) and the experimental variety 2ND33821 was the highest at Westfield at 23.6%. Limited grain quality data is available at this point and is summarized in Table 5.\u00a0 Many varieties had germination energy levels below 95% with site averages of 91% at Old Town and 89% at Westfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
