Barley agronomy – deep sowing barley locations
Aims

To demonstrate best management practices that can give barley the best possible start from deeper sowing.

Key messages
  • Barley varieties differ in coleoptile length and their ability to emerge from depth.
  • Care at sowing should be taken when Triadimenol based dressings are used in conjunction with short coleoptile varieties such as Hindmarsh.
  • Choosing a long coleoptile variety, or combining higher seeding rates with a Carboxin based dressing may help counteract some of the plant establishment losses from deeper sowing.
