Seed protein and yield status in spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes

Development of brewery and malting industry in Republic of Croatia influences on the increasing demand for planting area sown by spring barley in Republic of Croatia. Republic of Croatia is situated in continental and southern part of Europe where winter barley in comparison with spring barley, especially in plain areas, realises higher and more stable grain yields (Kovačević et al. 1994; Lalić and Kovačević 1997) due to better exploitation of autumn and winter moisture, better drought resistance or maturing before summer droughts. Spring barley in comparison with winter barley has better and uniform malt quality (Lalić and Kovačević 1997). The problem in producing a barley of excellent or good quality for the malting industry purposes in republic of Croatia makes increased crude protein content. It is well-known fact that barley crude protein content besides variety, is strongly influenced by soil type, climatic conditions during the growth, total lasting of vegetation , forecrop and fertilisation.
