Management Options for Producers who Traditionally Plant Barley for Grain or Forage: Author: Boss, Darrin Lewis; Date: 2007-12-15; Program: Plant Sciences; Abstract: The objective of the experiment was to evaluate barley management options by varying seed band width, seeding rates, and harvest endpoint under dryland production conditions in Northern Montana. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with a factorial arrangement and was conducted for three years. Treatments consisted of two cultivars (‘Harrington’ and ‘Haybet’), two band widths (125 mm and 193 mm), and three seeding rates (140, 184 and 226 seeds m-2). Year effects were significant. All established plant populations were lower than planned. Band ...; Download File | View full details
