13th International Barley Genetics Symposium
INVITATION TO SUBMIT SEEDS FOR FIELD DEMONSTRATIONS
Location and time of demonstration
Field demonstrations will be located at PRIEKULI (Institute of Agricultural Resources and Economics, Priekuli Research Centre, 57.31 N, 25.32 E) which is 100 km east of the capital Riga.
Field demonstrations will be visited during the Symposium field day on July 7th
Barley material, sowing and treatment of plots
Please, use the form on 2nd page to submit barley seed.
Spring barley, comprising research material or advanced breeding lines is expected.
Material will be sown in a conventionally managed breeding field with mineral fertilizers applied in order to obtain 5 t/ha grain yield, one application of herbicide, insecticide if required, and no fungicides. We will do no seed treatment; please send treated seed if you prefer to!
One plot per accession will be sown (no replicates) with the main aim to visually demonstrate line performance during the symposium. We usually sow 400 germinable seeds per 1 m2 and suggest you use the same (or different seeding rate if you prefer) and send the exact amount of seeds for the plot size you choose.
