Description

Favorable climatic conditions for barley production in 1989 at the Matanuska Research Farm resulted in exceptionally high grain yields. Mean grain yield for cultivars in this test was 92.5 bushels per acre (Table 1). A total of 908 growing degree-days (41 degree F base) were accumulated between May 1 and Aug. 31. 'Otal' required 98 days or 700 growing degree-days to reach maturity. A high temperature of 80 degrees F was recorded on July 19. Soil moisture was generally adequate throughout the growing season.
