Barley lines have been developed for one-irrigation conditions. The purpose of these studies is to provide information required to develop recommendations for nitrogen fertilizer practices for one - irrigation barley. A total of nine field studies were conducted at the Marana and Maricopa Agricultural Centers testing six nitrogen rates ranging from 0 to 200 lbs N/A under a variety of conditions. The optimum nitrogen fertilizer rate ranged from 0 to 40 lbs N /A. No relationship was established between optimum nitrogen fertilizer rate and preplant soil nitrate, previous crop, planting date, or number of irrigations (1 vs. 2). Based on the results of this and other studies, a nitrogen rate of 40 to 50 lbs N/A is usually adequate for one-irrigation barley, and nitrogen rates greater than 80 to 100 lbs N/A is considered excessive.
