As the cultivation of barley as a raw material for brewing beer is on an upward trend in Romania, to identifying an optimal fertilization scheme that enhances the quality of the grains is still a real challenge for producers and processors alike. In this context, the researches focused on the behavior of the Salamandre two row barley genotype in terms of grain yield achieved per unit area and the technical value of the harvest, against the background of the practice of differentiated fertilization schemes. The results of the research highlighted the positive impact of the administration of foliar fertilizers based on macro and microelements, in the phenophases considered critical for the supply of nutrients to plants. The highest values of the physical and chemical indicators that define the quality of grains in barley for brewing were obtained under the conditions of application of three foliar treatments with Poly Feed GG fertilizer applied in well-defined vegetation phases, against the background of administration at the time of establishment of the crop of 200 kg/ha of Complex fertilizers 20-20-0+13% Sulphur.
