Abstract
Field experiments with three barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars, Olli, Bonanza and Klages, were conducted for 3 yr at Beaverlodge, Alberta to determine the effect of harvest time and drying method on yield and quality. Plots were harvested at 5% kernel moisture content (KMC) intervals in the range of 45–15% and dried in the windrow or artificially dried. Yield, test weight, 1000-kernel weight, germination percent, protein content, phosphorous content and commercial grade were determined. Protein and phosphorous content were unaffected by the treatments. Windrowing at 40% KMC or less had little effect on yield or quality characteristics while threshing and artificially drying barley above 20% KMC reduced test weight and germination. Windrowing reduced yields of Olli and Klages barley by up to 19% compared to direct combining. Most treatments received feed grades, but the crop was most likely to meet Canada Western grades when windrowed at 30% KMC or less under favourable harvest conditions.Key words: Hordeum vulgare L., kernel moisture content, yield, quality
