Barley is an annual herb, 60–100 cm tall. The culms are erect and smooth, glabrous. Leaf sheaths are glabrous, though those of basal leaves may bear sparse soft hairs; both sides of the sheath bear curved, groove-like auricles. The ligule is small, 1–2 mm long, and membranous. The leaf blade is flat, long-lanceolate, 8–18 cm long, 6–18 mm wide, rough above, and relatively smooth below. Spikelet inflorescence, 4–10 cm long, divided into several nodes, each node bearing 3 fully developed spikelets. Spikelets approximately 2 cm long, usually sessile, each bearing 1 flower. Both inner and outer glumes linear or linear-lanceolate, sparsely pubescent, apex elongated into a short awn, only 8–14 mm long. Glume oblong-lanceolate, smooth, with 5 longitudinal veins; midvein elongated into a long awn, extremely rough, 8–13 cm long; glume equal in length to lemma. Three stamens. One ovary, style bifurcated into two styles. Caryopsis fused with glumes and lemma, rarely separated; caryopsis with a dorsal groove. Flowering period: March–April. Fruiting period: April–May.

Varieties exist suited to temperate, subarctic, and subtropical regions. The growing season lasts at least 90 days, relatively short among cereal crops. Thus, it can be cultivated on Himalayan slopes with very short growing seasons, though yields are low. Its tolerance to dry heat is also stronger than other small-grain crops. It is sown in autumn in near-desert areas of North Africa and in spring in the cool, humid regions of western Europe and North America.

Q&A

Q: What types of grass can be used to feed chickens during autumn and winter?
A: Ryegrass. Chickens, ducks, geese, fish, rabbits, pigs, cattle, sheep, and others all enjoy eating it.
Q: What's the difference between annual and perennial ryegrass?
A: Annual ryegrass gradually dies off after winter when temperatures rise. Perennial ryegrass can live for 3-5 years.
Q: What forage grasses can be used for fish farming in summer?
A: Corn grass, sweet elephant grass, and high-dan grass are all suitable.
Q: How can I utilize forage grass for sheep grazing from March to May?
A: You can sow ryegrass, but its usable period is short. For planting at this time, consider sweet elephant grass or high-dan grass.
Q: Can ryegrass and sorghum be intercropped alternately?
A: Yes. Intercropping ryegrass and sorghum in alternating rows ensures year-round forage availability.
Q: How long after sowing can seeds be harvested?
A: Forage grass seeds typically become harvestable 30-45 days after sowing.
