In domesticated barley, grains with low levels of dormancy can sprout before harvest in the field after exposure to dew, mist, or rain. Preharvest sprouting in barley and other cereals reduces the quality of mature grain and jeopardizes its end-use value. Learn more in our first issue of 2026: scim.ag/49dkjCR
