The study is focused mainly on the barley malting varieties, the non-malting ones are only mentioned and their characteristics are given in the tables. In 2006, based on results of three-year tests, the spring barley malting varieties BRAEMAR and XANADU were registered. Further, the non-malting spring barley variety Tocada and just before the end of last year the variety Pribina were registered. In 2006, the winter barley varieties Amarena, Gilberta, Graciosa, and Mascara were also registered.The study is focused mainly on the barley malting varieties, the non-malting ones are only mentioned and their characteristics are given in the tables. In 2006,...

The pilot plant and full-scale trials were made with malts from barley varieties Bojos and Tolar.The wort and beer were analysed to find out whether Tolar variety could be substitute for Bojos variety. Bojos variety had a very good wort extract, lower content of β-glucans and a perfect wort clarity. The results of Hartong VZ 45 °C, FAN and final attenuation were on the similar level as Tolar variety. Contents of fermentable sugars and dextrins in worts from Bojos and Tolar were very similar. Bojos variety proved a lower final attenuation limit.Worts from this variety excelled with lower β-glucans content and higher pH results. Very low turbidity...

The presented study is devoted to the significance of physical characters of barley caryopses and grains of malt for their utilization in the prediction of technological quality. In the study, older and new, subjective and objective methods of the assessment of physical characters of caryopses or malt are described. Needed instrumentation is also mentioned. In the first part of the study, physical methods used for the assessment of barley caryopses and grains of malt are summed up, attention is paid mainly to mechanical characters. The other part is focused on the study of the effect of the structure and chemical composition of a barley caryopsis or...

In this contribution, the principles of the greenhouse effect are briefly described and illustrated. Attention is paid to the effect of the increasing atmospheric concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases on the intensification of this effect. Using information contained in the 3rd report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the main consequences of the temperature increase of 0.6 oC during the last century are briefly reviewed.(In Czech, English summary only)

In 1948 plant breeding and seed growing companies in the CSR were nationalized. Changes in organization of plant breeding and seed growing marked the whole period of 1948-1989. The article deals with this topic briefly, especially in relation to spring barley breeding. Specialization of breeding stations started after 1960. To fulfil breeding plans, teams of breeders specialized in particular crops and also teams of breeders within international cooperation in breeding wereestablished. The breeding plans were governed by long-term thematic tasks. The production economic unit Oseva Praha was a monopoly company for plant breeding and seed growing of...
