Outstanding problems of brewing barley production in Czechoslovakia.Peer-reviewed article

J. LEKEŠ

The balance of potential brewing barley production in Czechoslovakia has still large reserves. From the total production only 29% are used at present for malting and this proportion can be increased. Beside there are several new, very promising varieties, as e. g. Diamant and Dvoran, combining high quality and excellent yields. There are of course some problems of agricultural character, since larger areas under barley will necessitate new rotation rounds, in which barley will follow other cereals. New principles are being introduced also into the existing purchasing system. The producer will be allowed to sell lots of brewing barley of guaranteed variety, quality and origin straight to malting plants, i. e. without the participation of intermediate link, i. e. the state purchasing agencies.
