Abstract
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L. ’Bonanza’) was windrowed for five harvesting seasons at kernel moisture contents (KMC) (throughout this paper, wet-basis moisture content is used) ranging from about 55 to 19% at Melfort in the Parkbelt area of Saskatchewan. Windrowing the crop at 40% KMC did not cause a significant loss in grain yield or quality as measured by test weight, 1000-kernel weight, percent protein and phosphorus content as compared to harvesting at lower KMC. The results show that windrowing barley at 30–40% KMC will often reduce shattering and facilitate earlier combining. These results agree with earlier work reported.Key words: Hordeum vulgare L., harvesting, kernel moisture content, yield, quality
