The minimum temperature for germination of barley is 34 degrees to 36 degrees F (1 degrees - 2 degrees C). After the seed takes up moisture, the primary root (radicle) emerges. The radicle grows downward, providing anchorage and absorbing water and nutrients, and eventually develops lateral branches.arley can be distinguished by differences in head type and growth habits. In a six-rowed barley, three kernels are formed at each node of the head while in a two-rowed type, only a single kernel forms at each node (figure 1). Barley is also classed by its requirement for cold temperatures.
Rapid germination relies on proper soil temperatures in the fall or spring. Fescue seeds prefer a soil temperature range between 50 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. If you do not have a soil thermometer to verify this range, wait until the air temperature is about 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.apid germination relies on proper soil temperatures in the fall or spring.
