Synopsis Artificial 45° lodging of spring barley grown as a winter annual under flood irrigation had little effect on barley and malt quality. Lodging at 90° caused increases in barley nitrogen, malt nitrogen, wort nitrogen, diastatic power, and alpha‐amylase; decreases in barley and malt kernel weights, and malt extract percentage; but had very little effect on the ratio of wort nitrogen to malt nitrogen, or of beta‐amylase to alpha‐amylase.
