| dc.description | This article is about hull content and hull removal of barley. To develop barley varieties of specified hull content it is necessary for the barley breeder to possess information on this point, but knowledge of hull content has been difficult to obtain because of the labor and time required to determine this property by manual methods. Results reported in this paper were obtained from two series of samples. Varieties, locations of growth and seasonal factors influence hull content. The hull content of barley is significantly influenced by the conditions of growth. In barley improvement, cognizance is also taken of protein content, diastase and extract as important quality factors, in addition to hull content. | |
