Review of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production in republic of Croatia from 2009. to 2014.

Cilj ovog rada bio je prikazati pregled proizvodnje ječma u Republici Hrvatskoj za razdoblje od 2009. do 2014. godine s obzirom na vremenske prilike (srednje mjesečne temperature (ºC) i srednje mjesečne količine oborina (l/m²)). Proizvodni rezultati za svaku godinu uspoređeni su s vremenskim prilikama, kao i sa prinosima u širokoj proizvodnji. Može se zaključiti da su vremenske prilike imale značajan utjecaj na prinos ječma. Godina 2012. bila je najbolja što se tiče prinosa zrna, od svih analiziranih godina on je iznosio 4,3 t/ha, dok su 2009. godine su bile najveće zasijane površine pod ječmom, a prinos je iznosio oko 4,1 t/ha. Nepovoljne vremenske prilike i nesigurnost u otkupnu cijenu zrna ječma, kao i poskupljenje repromaterijala, zasigurno su uzrok ovakvih oscilacija u površinama i samom prinosu zrna ječma u Republici Hrvatskoj.The aim of this study was to present and overview of barley production in Croatia for the period from 2009. to 2014. considering the weather conditions (mean monthly temperatures (C) and mean monthly rainfall (l/m²). The production results and theweather conditions from 2009 to 2014 were compared with the weather conditions. It can be concluded that the weather conditions had a significant effect on barley yield, for this reason, 2012. was the best considering grain yield, of all analyzed years and it was 4,3 t/ha. Year 2009. was largest area harvested barley, and grain yield of barley was about 4,1 t/ha. Adverse weather conditions and uncertainty in the purchase price of barley, as well as increase in prices of raw materials, are certainly cause such fluctuations in the surface and the grain yield of barley in Croatia
