De Gruyter Open

From December 2015 Agricultura journal will be published in partnership with De Gruyter Open (degruyteropen.com), the world's second largest publisher of Open Access academic content, and part of the De Gruyter group which has over 260 years of publishing history. De Gruyter Open closely cooperates with the majority of abstracting and indexing services, universities and libraries, providing a wide availability of journal's content and increasing its visibility. Agricultura's full-text articles will be found also at the new address on the De Gruyter Open's platform in following weeks.

ABSTRACT

Different plant genotypes react differently in different climates. A field experiment was carried out to estimate the growth performance, productivity and diseases susceptibility of spring barley varieties in the Slovenian climate. We received some varieties, mainly of Nordic origin, from the Technical University of Denmark, a COBRA project partner, which were previously tested in estimated future climate in RERAF phytotron. Varieties of the highest grain yield (3,993 kg ha-1 in 'Evergreen' to 5,146 kg ha-1 in 'Sebastian') were rather shorter (58.7 cm to 67.1 cm) and mostly had the highest specific grain weight (54.3 to 58.6 kg 100 L-1) and 1000-kernel weight (30.2 to 37.1 g). They developed 1,561 to 2,532 tillers m-2 and 515 to 840 ears m-2 and reached a heading stage between 13th and 25th of May. The tested varieties seem rather insusceptible to most common diseases, but susceptible to cereal leaf beetle attacks.

Key words: organic breeding, barley, varieties, productivity, disease susceptibility

Rast, produktivnost in občutljivost na bolezni sort jarega ječmena preskušanih v okviru projekta COBRA v Sloveniji

Odziv na različne podnebne razmere je genotipsko specifičen. V poljskem poskusu smo na sortah jarega ječmena ocenjevali rast, višino pridelka in občutljivost na bolezni v slovenskih pridelovalnih razmerah. Sorte ječmena, predvsem nordijskega izvora, smo prejeli od partnerske institucije Technical University iz Danske, ki je sodelovala v projektu COBRA. Vse sorte so bile predhodno preskušane v ftotronu RERAF, v klimatskih razmerah, ki simulirajo pričakovane podnebne razmere v prihodnosti. Skupina sort z značilno najvišjimi pridelki (med 3.993 kg ha-1 pri 'Evergreen' in 5.146 kg ha-1 pri sorti 'Sebastian'), so bile značilno nižje (58,7 cm do 67,1 cm) in so imele med preskušanimi sortami v večini najvišjo hektolitrsko maso (54,3–58,6 kg 100 L-1) ter maso 1000-zrn (30,2 ̶ 37,1 g). Razvile so med 1.561 in 2.532 m-2 stranskih poganjkov in med 515 in 840 m-2 poganjkov s klasom. Razvojno fazo klasenje so sorte dosegle med 13. in 25. majem. Preskušane sorte so bile na najpogostejše bolezni ječmena precej neobčutljive, vendar dovzetne na napad žitnega strgača.

Ključne besede: ekološko žlahtnjenje, ječmen, sorte, produktivnost, občutljivost na bolezni
