Steeping of barley and acrospire overgrowing.Peer-reviewed article

J. VOBORSKÝ

The  author presents in a series of diagrams the results of experimental research works into the relation between the wild overshoting of barley and its variety year of crop, steeping method and temperature of steeping water. No definite conclusions specifying the influence of individual factors can be derived from the experiments. Only one relation can be expressed precisely enough, i.e. the relation between the percentage of overshot corns and steeping degree. From a straight line steeping degree. From a straight line connecting 60 points indicating  the results of 60 measurements it can be seen that for 1 % of increase in steeping degree acrospires overgrowing increases by 15 %. The line starts at 43% steeping degree when the percentage of overgrown corns is 5%, and ends at 49,2 % steeping degree, which brings the percentage of overgrown corns to 95 %.Deviations from the indicated figures do not exceed +- 2,1% and are due to different properties of individual varieties and various years of crop.
