Description

Barley is an edible annual grass in the family Poaceae grew as a cereal grain crop. It is a tall grass with a hairy stem that stands erect and produces spikelets at the head. The stem is made up of nodes and internodes. The internodes are solid, whereas the internodes are hollow. The stem supports the inflorescence, or spike, where the grain is produced. Barley seeds heads are cylindrical spikes composed of rachis each with 3 spikelets. Each spike produces 20–60 grains. Barley plants are freely tillering and typically possess 1–6 stems. The tillers do not produce seed heads. Barley is an annual plant that is harvested each year and it can range in height from 80-100 cm.
