Description
The effects of varietal (Azuma Golden, Akagi Nijyo and New Golden) and soil differences (Red Yellow Soils, Grey Lowland Soils, Light Colored Andosols and Thick Humic Andosols) on the feeding value of whole crop barley were investigated to ascertain each proportion of plant portions to the total plant weight and carbohydrate contents and the main results are as follows. 1) The differences in IVDMD (in vitro Dry Matter Digestibility) were independent of variety, but they were influenced considerably by soil differences. The lowest IVDMD value of 56% was in Grey Lowland Soils and the highest of 63% was produced in Thick Humic Andosols. 2) The barley produced on Grey Lowland Soils had a low proportion of ear to total plant weight, a low starch content and a high OCW (Organic Cell Wall) content.
