How is barley pollinated?

Answer 1

Barley is wind pollinated. The male parts of the flower produce a pollen that is blown off by the wind and this then sticks to the female parts of the flower as the breeze blows past them. As with most wind pollinated plants, huge amounts of pollen are produced and breathing this can cause certain people to develop hay fever in the spring/summer.

Answer 2

It is most commonly self-pollinated. The pollen enters the pistil before the flower ever opens. It can be cross-pollinated by wind and such, but the success rates of such pollination is at the best lower than 10% and more realistically 1-2%

Answer 3

According to a University of Minnesota article, "Pollination usually takes place in barley just before or during head emergence from the boot." This implies that barley self-pollinates before the flower is exposed to the environment. Link to article: https://extension.umn.edu/growing-small-grains/spring-barley-growth-and-development-guide.

Answer 4

Barley is a self-pollinating plant, which means it can pollinate itself. The male and female reproductive organs are located within the same flower, making it easier for pollen to reach the stigma for fertilization. Barley plants rely on the wind for pollen transfer rather than insect pollination.

Answer 5

Barley is predominantly self-pollinated, aided by the wind..
