Abstract

The Montserrat (D) variety has a high nutritional value due to its content of β-glucans (5.5%), protein (12.2%), and starch (67.2%) in grains, presents a potential yield of up to 7.5 t ha-1 for sowing dates from November 15 to December 15, reaches the heading stage between days 65 and 72 and grain physiological maturity between days 110 to 120, has a plant height of 0.8 to 0.95 m, is tolerant of stripe yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. Hordei West) and leaf rust (Puccinia hordei Otth), and has a grain filling index of 581, a thousand grain weight of 40.38 g, and a hectoliter weight of 80 kg hl-1, which decreases for planting dates on January 15 (77.6 kg hl-1); in addition, it presents a high percentage of naked grain (85 to 95%), so it is suitable for consumption as food and fodder. It is recommended to use 100 kg ha-1 of seed for double-row sowing and apply the 180-60-00 fertilizer formula of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, respectively. These characteristics make Monserrat (D) a good alternative for the production of barley grain in the region known as El Bajío in Mexico, at altitudes between 1 500 and 1 800 m, on Vertisol and Phaeozem soils.
