The barley variety "Browarny P.Z.H.R." was grown in pots. Experiments on the course of development were conducted for two years. The increase in the dry weight of roots, leaves, stems and grain was recorded. The assimilation area of the plants was measured periodically and the rate of respiration in detached leaves was determined. Photographic records were kept of growing point and ear development. The dynamics of growth and development were studied during the whole vegetation period. The present results are similar to those previously obtained for spring wheat. The short period of leaf activity is the chief factor limiting barley growth.
