“…The result was the ambitious budget of 1842, which reduced the import tariffs on 750 articles, including livestock. 15 In the same year he lowered the import duty on wheat. The income tax, which had been first imposed during the French Wars but removed shortly afterwards, came back at seven pennies in the pound, or about three per cent.…”

“…The budget was slow to take effect because of the recession and bureaucratic delays: it took six months for the income tax machinery to be set up. 16 By early 1844, the economy has recovered to the extent that government was able to renew £250 million in bonds at a lower rate of interest. Professor Gash has noted that Peel's budgets did more for the poor than all of the reforms under Shaftesbury combined.…”

“…Barley ( Hordeum vulgare ) is an annual monocotyledonous plant. It is a cereal of great importance for both humans and animals due to its energy and amino acid content (Briggs, 2012). It is the fourth most cultivated cereal globally, only surpassed by corn, wheat, and rice (Tadele, 2018).…”

Barley is one of the most consumed cereals, with many different cultivars available worldwide. Like other crops, its yield has been affected by climate change and soil degradation. This work proposes controlled-release protein-based matrices with incorporated zinc to improve barley seed germination and zinc content in the plant. Thus, the main objective of this study was to investigate the use of controlled-release protein-based matrices for massive crops, such as barley. Different barley cultivars of barley were studied: Barke, Golden Promise, Morex, WB-200, WB379, and WB-446. The seeds of each cultivar were also analyzed in order to explain the behavior of plants observed during the growth. To this end, the physico-chemical (FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, and Zn concentration) and microstructural (SEM) properties of the different seeds were firstly evaluated to establish differences between the studied cultivars. In addition, the use of controlled-release soybean protein-based matrices without zinc (M) or with zinc incorporated (MZ) was evaluated as fertilizers in the different barley cultivars. In this sense, the use of these matrices as a zinc carrier improved seed germination and zinc content in the plants, indicating that the use of matrices improves the amount of zinc assimilated by the crops (up to 30 and 50% with M and MZ, respectively) and allows the proper root growth of all cultivars of barley. In conclusion, this article shows the potential of controlled-release protein-based matrices as substitutes for conventional fertilization.

We have confirmed that floatation in salt solutions can be used to separate less-dense, more mealy, lower nitrogen-containing barley from more dense barley with less good malting quality having more steely grains and higher nitrogen contents. This gives breeders a useful tool for massselecting barley with potentially favourable characteristics for malting.We have now shoion that green malt can be fractionated by floatation on sucrose solutions into fractions the least dense ofiuhich contains grains which are the most completely modified.This allows grains that have malted well to be selected. Using this novel technique it has been possible to substantially enrich fractions with green malt corns of the better quality malting variety when mixtures of a good and a less-good malting barley had been micromalted. The green malt fractions can be grown on to maturity. This technique gives breeders a powerful massselection tool for enriching their genetically mixed breeding lines with strains of better malting quality. This approach should be particularly pozverful if applied several times in successive generations. The best results are likely to be obtained by fractionating the barley, collecting the lightest material, micromalting it and then collecting the lightest fraction of the green malt for further propagation.
