I just added my first ever half a cup of ground up malted barley to one of my plants. Then I started googling about the science behind the procedure and found this study done about just this practice. Seems that the end result is a cocktail of different plant hormones. Pretty interesting stuff. The big thing to note here is that they used unmalted malting barley; this begs the question that does the malting process destroy some of the fungi and bacteria present in the unmalted grain?
