Abstract
Levels of water soluble carbohydrates in stems of 13 winter barley varieties were measured on crops grown at Rosemaund, near Hereford and High Mowthorpe, near York. By making appropriate ancillary measurements the results were expressed as tonnes of water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) per hectare. There was a range of over one tonne/ha between mean levels of water soluble carbohydrates, with the highest levels being found in Halcyon (2.33 t/ha) and the lowest levels being found in Rifle (1.30 t/ha) at both sites.
