Abstract
Conditions have been defined by which the husks may be rapidly and conveniently removed from barley so that the treated corns are able to germinate readily and completely. As a result of detailed study, a technique for determining germinative capacity which gives accurate and reproducible results has been evolved, requiring 3-hr. treatment with 50% (v/v) sulphuric acid, removal of acid and husk, and germination in petri dishes on paper under standard conditions of temperature and water supply.
