The study evaluates quality of malting barley from harvest 2009 in the Czech Republic. It maps significant factors (weather conditions, occurrence of diseases and pests, varietal composition, barley yield) affecting the final quality of malting barley. Based on the evaluation of barley and malt produced under the laboratory conditions, it is possible to state that barleys from harvest 2009 indicate an average malting year.The study evaluates quality of malting barley from harvest 2009 in the Czech Republic.
