Data on the Effects of a Vertical Agrivoltaic System on Crop Yield and Nutrient Content of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in Sweden

摘要: Agrivoltaic systems emerge as a promising solution to the ongoing conflict between allocating agricultural land for food production and establishing solar parks. This field experiment, conducted during the spring and summer seasons of 2023, aims to showcase barley production in a vertical agrivoltaic system compared to open-field reference conditions at Kärrbo Prästgård, near Västerås, Sweden. The dataset presented in this article encompasses both barley kernel and straw yields, kernel crude protein levels, starch content in kernels and thousand kernel weight. All collected data underwent analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey pairwise comparison when possible, using dedicated software RStudio 4.3.2. This dataset article illustrates the effects of the vertical agrivoltaic design system on barley productivity. Interested researchers can benefit from this data to better comprehend barley yield under this specific …
