S ummary Barley (Hordewn vulgare L.) variety N.P. 13 gave a higher yield of grain when an aqueous solution of phosphate was applied to the tops 70–80 days after sowing as compared with the controls sprayed with de‐ionized water only. The beneficial effect of spray was generally more pronounced when the plants had received a small dose of phosphatic fertilizer by basal dressing than when they were grown without soil‐applied phosphorus.
