Abstract

The research was carried out in one of the laboratories of the Agricultural Technical College / Mosul to study the effect of the soaking time and seed rate per unit area for the production of green fodder from local germinated barley, and the research included two factors, the first factor is the soaking time with four levels (0, 6, 12, 24) hours. The second factor is the rate of seeds per unit area and has four levels (1, 2, 3, 4) kg / m2. The research was carried out using a complete random design (CRD) and with three replications, and the results showed that: The amount of seeds per unit area had no significant effect on plant height, and the increase in soaking time for barley seeds was accompanied by a gradual significant increase in all the studied characters, and the interaction between the quantity of seeds (1) kg / m2 and the soaking period (24) hours the highest height for plants, the interaction between the quantity of seeds (4) kg / m2 and the time of soaking was (12) hours, the highest wet weight for the vegetative and root groups, the interaction between the quantity of seeds (4) kg / m2 and the soaking time (24) hours was achieved with the highest dry weight of the vegetative and root groups.
