Botany
 The vegetative portion of Barley plant is similar
to that of other cereals except that the auricle
on the leaf are conspicuous . Barley is an
annual herbaceous plant . Normally its plant
height varies from 50cm to 150cm.It is highly
variable so far as its different morphological
and other characters are concerned.
 The roots are generally fibrous
ROOTS and non creeping.Depending
on the soil type and moisture
availability the lateral spread of
the Barlry roots usually varies
from 15 to 30 cm,while depth
varies from 100 to 200 cm.The
seminal roots emerge from the
radical at seed germination and
adventitious roots from crown
at plant establishment
time.Seminal roots develop
usually 5 to 7 in numberemerge
from coleorhiza as the seed
germinate.
 It is cylindrical culm with series
of five to eight cylindrical hollow
STEMS internodes distinguished from
eachother by the nodes or
joints.The length of culm differs
depending on the variety and
growing conditions.Aheight of
13-153cm has been observed.
 The crown carries several
culms,a mother shoot and
usually two to four
tillers.Tillering is varietal
character which is influenced by
soil conditions,level of
nutrition ,time of sowing .
 In mutant culm varieties,normally only main
stem is formed.
 Two rowed barleys usually tiller more
profusely than the six rowed barleys.
 In favourable growing conditions,tillering in
barley may continue even after ear emergence.
 However late born tillers do not contribute
towards grain production.
LEAF
 Single leaf arises from the nodes alternately on
the opposite side of the stem in distichous
arrangement.A barley has 5 to 6 leaves.They
grow upward ,rolled up within the tube of
other leaf sheaths.Young leaves when looked at
from above form a spiral in a clockwise
direction.Each leaf consists of a leaf
sheath,ligule and long blade.Claws are formed
as twp lateral projections at the jumction of
blade and sheath.
 Leaf is glabrous and hairy sheaths are found in
some varieties.Sheath provide support to
stem .The last flag leaf is often the smallest of
all leaves.It encloses the ear within its sheath
which swells and is called boot.Barley leaves
have conspicuous central midrib.
 The inflorescence of barley
is spike at the tip of stem .
INFLORESCENCE The spike consists of
spikelets emerging from
nodes of a rachis. There is a
group of three spikelets at
each end of rachis.These
spikelet groups are
alternately arranged.Each
spikelet have two glumes
and one floret.
 In two rowed barley only central spikelet is
perfect while lateral ones are imperfect.On the
contrary in six rowed barley,all 3 spikelets are
fertile.The glumes bear awns of different
lengths which may b barbed,semi smooth or
smooth if they have barbd on their tops.The
fertile floret carries three stamens and a pistil
with a single ovule and a plumose stigma.Two
lodicules are arranged at base of pistil
 Frit is caryopsis attached to
SEED lemma,palea and rachilla.The
grains are about 8 to 12mm
long ,3-4 mm wide and 2-3
mm thick.Caryopsis consists
of pericarp,endosperm and
embryo.Barley grain is
approximately a spindle
shaped body tapering at each
end with a shallow furrow
running along ventral side.
Classification of Barley
 Based on fertility of lateral spikelets.

 Based on awns.

 Based on adherence of chaff to grains


Based on fertility of lateral spikelets
 On basis of arrangement of spikelets on rachis
and fertility status,it has classified into two
types namely
 A)Two rowed type:Hordeum distichon L.
 B)six rowed type:Hordeum vulgare
 In two rowed barley ,the two lateral
spikelets are sterile thus each spike has only
two vertical rows of kernals ad each spike
produces 15 to 30 kernals.
 In six rowed barley both the lateral florets are
fertile but their size may vary from slightly to
moderately smaller than central floret.In this
type each spikelet have onefloret with three
fertile florets attached to one side of rachis and
three on the other,six vertical rows of kernel
are usually produced on spike bearing 25 to 60
kernels.
 On the basis of presence or
CLASSIFICATION absence of awns in grains it
BASED ON AWNS has been grouped into
 A)awned type
 B)awnless type.
 Again on basis of nature of
awn type they are sub
grouped into
 A)smooth awned
 B)rough awned
CLASSIFICATION
BASED ON  1)Hulled(husked)type:In this
ADHERENCE OF floral glumes i.e, the husk or
CHAFF TO GRAINS chaff remains adhered to
grain.This type of barley does
not thresh free
 Hull-less(naked):It is also
called as naked type of
barley.The chaff in this type
do not adhere to grain and
therefore the grain can be
easily seperated on threshing
as in wheat.
