UK: Winter barley decline in importance

There are three candidates for the 2008 HGCA Recommended winter barley List: Actrice, Marcorel and Wintmalt, according to Farmers Weekly Interactive, December 4.

Only one variety looks to have a chance of making it to the list, a fact reflecting the decline in importance of winter barley, says Mr Williams.

"Wintmalt appears an extremely strong candidate for addition, subject to malting trials results.

"While it's susceptible to yellow rust, its standing power is rather better than Flagon's, and BaYMV resistance will be a very valuable trait for committed malting barley growers."

Mr Fenwick is less convinced: "With a yield 1% ahead of Flagon and 2% on Cassata it may get recommended, but all will depend on whether maltsters and brewers want it. Will they give a firm answer - they're normally a bit wishy washy."

Like Cassata it has BaYMV resistance, but poor mildew and yellow rust defences, he notes.

"It's a borderline case. Is it really any advance on what is there already? Probably not."

But Mr Stephenson sees it as "the pick of the bunch".

In the feed category Actrice looks interesting, says Mr Williams. "It has very good resistance to rhyncho and net blotch coupled with strong untreated yield, which may make it a possible ...More Info

Scientific Digest

The effect of storage conditions on post-harvest maturation and maltability of barley

Rainer Reuss, Julie Cassells, Jane Green and Tracy Willis from CSIRO, GPO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT, 2601. Julie.Cassells@csiro.au. www.csiro.au and Ralph Nischwitz from Barrett Burston Malting Co., 15 Gough Street, Richmond, Victoria 3121 nischwitz@bbmalt.com.au

Abstract
Storage conditions have a major influence on the rate at which dormancy breakdown occurs. The rate of breakdown depends mainly on grain moisture content, storage temperature, storage time and the characteristics of individual batches of barley. Data presented in this paper are a significant addition to the existing knowledge on post harvest maturation of Australian malting barley. Germination of Gairdner and Sloop increased at low moisture content (mc) at storage temperatures above 20oC, as water sensitivity progressively broke down. In contrast, Grimmett germination declined under similar conditions. Stirling was very robust and maintained its germination even under high temperature storage, while Tallon had to be stored below 25oC to prevent loss in barley quality. Samples with high water sensitivity and dormancy were less vulnerable to germination loss. Dormancy and water sensitivity could be overcome by matching storage conditions and barley characteristics. Gairdner, Sloop and Stirling, all samples with some level of dormancy and water sensitivity, showed improved maltability after storage, while Tallon and Grimmett, samples with high pre-storage germination, decreased in maltability under most storage conditions. Longer term storage under mild conditions generally resulted in better malting outcomes. Storage affected Kohlbach index, wort -glucan, diastatic power and apparent attenuation limit of malt. Changes in germination and maltability need to be considered in combination to develop optimum storage strategies for breaking dormancy and water sensitivity. In dormant grain, enzyme activity of a-amylase and b-glucanase changed with storage, while b-amylase measurements showed no clear trends. Enzyme activity decreased at higher mc and temperatures concurrent with germination loss. Changes in enzyme activity were highly sample-dependent. An understanding of the vulnerability of particular cultivars to damage in storage will assist in increasing and preserving value. Barley with pronounced levels of dormancy and/or water sensitivity can be safely stored at 25° to 30°C for short periods to increase germination. Care must be taken to monitor germination during storage, and moisture content should be kept at or below 12%. Dormant barley stored at low temperatures may not reach malting quality, even over a 12 month period. Key Words Storage, germination, malting, amylase, glucanase, dormancy, water sensitivity
