Fertilizer:Apply 60-60 kg/ha urea and diammonium phosphate (DAP). Apply less urea if the previous crop grown in the field is legume.

Herbicide: 2,4 D

The herbicide (2,4-D) should be applied at at least 3 weeks after germination.

Barley can be weeded manually or with the use of an appropriate herbicide to control broad-leaf weeds after the barley has emerged. Barley requires nitrogen application and this can be applied before the seeds are sown or after they have germinated. Production of 1 ton of barley grain requires nitrogen to be applied at a rate of 25 kg per hectare of crop.

Instead of using post emergence herbicides, it is advisable to use pre-emergence, apply immediately after planting.
