Effect of K-content in soil on the quality of brewing barley.Peer-reviewed article

K. KOSAŘ

The increased K- content in the soil has negative effect on the quality of brewing barley. The levels of search in barley and malt extract decreased and the protein level of barley and amlt increased with increasing K-content on the group of 24 samples. The optimum K-concentration in the soil (with respect to the brewing barley quality) depends on the variety of barley and its growing district and therefore it cannot be unambiguously determined.
