One of the stops planned for our field day was the 2011 Penn State winter barley trial. This includes some of the top lines from Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and various commercial lines. A total of 19 hulled and hulless barley lines are included this year. The trial was planted on September 20, 2011 at 1.6 million seeds/acre and 1.9 million seeds/acre for the hulless lines, which are more responsive to higher plant populations. We applied 250 lb/acre of 10-20-20 in the fall and 60 units of N as UAN on March 15. Disease pressure has generally been low. Some winterkill was noticed on the hulless Eve variety, but it has recovered well.
