  1. 1. Weather you like it or not : pre-season yield forecasting of malting barley with climate markers.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elsa Rozenbeek; [2023]
    Keywords : Yield forecasting; extreme weather; pre-season forecasting; climate markers; climate predictors; climate patterns; model calibration; DSSAT; crop model;

    Abstract : Different means of yield forecasting have been investigated in many publications, although very few with a focus on pre-season forecasting. Climate change and the increasing risk of extreme weather events is a threat to food production, and early yield predictions could therefore be beneficial for farmer’s planning and management as a way towards more resilient food production.

  3. 2. Beyond the Bubbles : a Study of Fungal Diversity and Gushing in Beer Production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Alexander Pettersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Fusarium Head Blight; Fungal communities; Metabarcoding; Amplicon sequencing Malting barley; Gushing; Pink kernels; Random forests;

    Abstract : Gushing, violent and spontaneous over-foaming of beer, is a well-known quality reducing phenomenon encountered in the brewing industry. The present study investigated the impact of fungal contamination in barley grains, specifically focusing on gushing and the occurrence of pink kernels. READ MORE

  4. 3. Problemet med rosa kärnor i maltkorn

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Elin Almén; [2020]
    Keywords : Pink kernels; Malting barley; Gushing; Hydrophobins; ns-LTP; Fusarium spp; Rosa kärnor; Maltkorn; Hydrofobiner;

    Abstract : Rosa kärnor används som en indikator för att överskumning, s.k gushing kommer att uppstå på ölbryggerier. För att analysera rosa kärnor görs en okulär analys. Denna har fått kritik för att inte vara tillförlitlig nog att identifiera partier som orsakar gushing. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hedging malting barley : maximizing expected utility considering price, yield and quality risk

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Torgil Andersson; [2018]
    Keywords : expected utility; futures contracts; hedging; malting barley; quadratic risk; programming; quality risk; risk management; risk preference;

    Abstract : Farmers are faced with situations with uncertain outcomes on a daily basis. Production risks stem from uncertainty about the performance of crops and the unpredictable nature of weather. Also, the markets for inputs and agricultural commodities affect the farm to a high degree. READ MORE

  6. 5. Identification of Mutations in Genes Regulating Culm Length in Malting Barley

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Emma Thorell; [2016]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Lodging, the tendency in barley to lie down on the ground when exposed to hail and heavy fertilising, is one of the most important traits that barley breeding is trying to remove from the barley cultivars. This may be an even greater challenge when future climate changes may lead to more extreme weather leading to more severe storms with heavy rain and hail. READ MORE
