Abstract

Barley, oak and rye belong to the group of small cereal crops. They belong to the same botanic group so they have a very similar technology of production. They all have both summer and winter form. In barley and rye the winter form dominates, whereas in oak the dominant form is the summer one, of red heat. They all have a threadlike root, the stem is hollow with 4 to 7 internodias. Rye is the highest, and its height can, depending on the cultivars, be over 150 cm. Barley is from 60 to 100 cm high, and oak from 80 to 100 cm. Leaves are mostly small and of course, appear individually. Barley and rye have an ear as their inflorescence, whereas oak has a whisk. The fruit is a grain which is divided by a furrow. Barley and oak have the grain wrapped in the winnow whereas rye has bare grains.
In general they do not have great demands for water and heat. They are known for their resistence to temperatures below zero. They are the so called plants of a long day, characterized by the cultivation in thick rows. They are sown on the basis of the sprouting grains per square metre (sowing combination) or in other words they have a specific sowing norm of kg/ha perscribed for each sort.
