The results showed that the statistically highest yields were obtained after sugar beet. Selected qualitative parameters of spring barley (protein content, extract, starch content, thousand grain weight) were more suitable for barley processing for malting purposes after maize for grain and winter wheat. date: 2006 date_type: published refereed: never citation: Klimekova, Marta and Lehocka, Zuzana (2006) The effect of three different forecrops on yield height and selected qualitative characters of spring barley cultivated organically in the years 2003 – 2005.
