Abstract
Nitrogen and irrigation effects on malt and wort quality traits were studied in two and six row barleys. Varietal effects were highly significant for malt yield, hot water extract (HWE), diastatic power (DP), wort viscosity, Kolbach index (KI), wort filtration rate, malt friability and homogeneity. The increase in nitrogen levels increased the DP, HWE, and decreased the wort filtration rate but was within the permissible limits even at 90 kg N/ha. Irrigation significantly increased the DP, malt yield, KI and malt homogeneity. The increase, though not significant was also observed in wort filtration rate and malt friability with more irrigation.
