Barley
A barley variety where the seed head has two rows of grains, often used in brewing due to its lower protein content and higher starch.
Mostly sand with some silt and clay; better structure than sandy soil, good drainage, moderately fertile.
Mildly alkaline, may reduce the availability of some nutrients.
Adequate organic matter levels, common in well-managed agricultural soils.
Salinity begins to affect many common crops, reducing their growth and yield.
Impact: Moderate stress on crops like corn, wheat, and lettuce; salt-tolerant plants like barley may still thrive.
Comfortable for most plants; typical for temperate regions.
Impact: Generally ideal for most crops and plants; supports healthy growth and development.
