3 VAIETY IETIFICATIO POCEUE VAIETY IETIFICATIO I OT IFFICUT urveys show that in any one community there are usually not more than five or six varieties. ith careful study of typical, pure kernel samples one can learn to recognize local varieties with a high degree of accuracy. GUIE I IETIFYIG KEE OF BAEY VAIETIE 1. tudy type samples - look at the sample as a whole, not at only a few individual kernels. ine up a row of kernels pointing the base end toward the light source. 2. Use a magnifier with a good strong light - north daylight is best. 3. Know which varieties are being grown in your area - keep an eye open for any new introductions. tudy varietal kernel characteristics for each new crop. 4. o not be afraid to look and look, and look again. TO IETIFY A AMPE A. Check general appearance of the sample. A pure sample will usually appear uniform. A sample containing a mixture of varieties generally has a non-uniform appearance. B. etermine the major kernel characters as follows:

4 1. ix-ow or Two-ow - The lateral or side kernels in six-row varieties are twisted. Therefore, in six-row varieties, two-thirds of the kernels are twisted. In two-row varieties, which have no lateral kernels, all kernels are straight and symmetrical and none are twisted. 2. hite or Blue pearl (aleurone) This is an easy character to determine with the use of a barley pearling machine. ometimes blue varieties may have very weakly developed blue color and can be confused with white pearls. 3. ough or mooth Beards (awns) There are usually enough broken pieces of beard or short pieces of beard attached to the kernel so that this character can easily be determined. Most smooth or semi-smooth bearded varieties have a few barbs at the tip but have no barbs on the rest of the beard. 4. ong or hort Hairs on achilla - This is an excellent character to use but a hand magnifying lens is needed to see the rachilla hairs. The difference between long and short hairs is very pronounced and does not vary from year to year or in different areas. ome varieties have aborted rachillas, these can be seen readily with the naked eye. C. If the above characters are not sufficient to identify a variety, other characters will have to be used. The most useful are described below: 1. The basal mark can vary from a depression to a transverse crease. A depression is a smooth uniform hollow or dimple. A transverse crease is a sharp fold or line. 2. Crease shape may vary from wide, open and V-shaped from base of kernel to narrow and almost closed. In some varieties the crease is closed in the bottom half of the kernel and flaring at the tip end. This character will vary with growing conditions and plumpness of kernel.

5 3. Barbs on lateral veins can be seen with a magnifying glass or felt with the finger. Their number varies from none to many in different varieties. These barbs are not related to the barbs on the beards of rough bearded varieties. ACHIA HAI 4. Hairs on glumes require careful observation with a hand magnifying lens to determine the length of hairs and their location on the glume. This can be a very useful character in varieties such as Foster where the glumes are covered with long hairs. 5. Kernel shape varies with growing conditions but can be of value in a local area. The relationship between length and width and fullness in different parts of the kernel are useful characters. Kernel shape may be smooth and tapered or there may be prominent bulges or other distinctive features. achilla hairs: left long, center short, right - aborted 6. rinkling of the hull varies from very fine to coarse. Many two-row varieties have numerous, very fine wrinkles. ome varieties, such as teptoe, have very little wrinkling and may have a smooth hull. C. In any area one may find additional characters which will be of use in identifying local varieties. It is important to study locally grown samples each year as some kernel characters may vary depending on the season and location at which a variety is grown.
