In 2004 the varieties Nitran and Bolina were registered in the Czech Republic. The Slovak variety Nitran has a medium-size grain but yield of sieving fractions over 2.5 mm is low. Grain yield is mean all agricultural production areas. It is a variety with a high content of extract, with a strong activity of proteolytic, amylolytic and cytolytic enzymes. It had clear wort and its composition was on the optimum level.The German variety Bolina is a non-malting variety. It has a medium- size grain, yield of sieving fractions over 2.5 mm is medium too. Grain yield is very high in all agricultural production areas.In 2004 the varieties Nitran and Bolina...

Dormancy of barley belongs today to the parameters of malting barley quality evaluation. Intensity of barley dormancy was checked by determination of germination energy on Petri dishes with 4 ml of water after 72 hours in a thermostat at 20 °C. Germination rate was determined by the calculation from the data of germination energy pursuant to the previously published formula. Determination of germination energy of malting barley was done in 2001 to 2003 always 6 weeks after harvest. The following malting barley varieties were assessed - Jersey, Kompakt, Prestige, Scarlett, and Tolar, they are the principal malting varieties. Samples were selected based...

The submitted contribution describes the development of breeding in the Czech Republic from the first half of the 19th century to the present. Political and agronomical factors affecting barley breeding are briefly characterized. Attention is devoted mainly to the malting barley varieties that were bred during the followed period. The varieties Proskowetz Hana Pedigree, Kneifl9s barley, Valtický and Diamant became donors of the malting quality for many other Czech and foreign varieties of malting barley.(In Czech, English summary only)
