I'd say that will recover fine. Ideally a nice rain and some good weather and it'll be away again but the chance of rain is looking slim, maybe once it starts to perk up give it a shot of manganese.

Barley can be frostdamage 3 times, then die.
SpringOSR die first time.

And after frost, there will be rain, we use to say.

Same here. Looks like it caught a dose of diquat. Leaves frosted back half way. Never seen it before. The year that keeps on giving.
Was giving mine some manganese. In fact that’s when I noticed it. Worst in hollows that gather the frost and on direct drilling with trash for some reason. Drilled onto ploughed land not really affected. Could just be field location though.

Had some in Lancashire as well, no chance this will come back

Mine went yellow/orange in bits when it first came through in parts of fields. Seems to have recovered though. Didn't fall over like that stuff.

However do you lot cope with spring barley on that black/organic land? I hate putting barley on it with a passion. Bloody stuff falls over, won't cut gets full of weeds etc etc. To the OP I think that will perk up again. Definitely give it some Mn next week.

Very common here in Canada. You’ll be fine with that damage. Might even make it tiller more from being prunes a bit.
Your growing point will still be below ground so unless it’s frozen solid for more that three hours or so it will grow out of it. Have seen worse from heat Banding. It’s when the soil get so hot that it fries the plant that touches the surface leaving it look like the plants have been clipped off. I wouldn’t be stressed over that damage.

Fine ignore. Inspected some yesterday - new leaf already 2 cm long.

Frost is the reason I only drilled my block of moss (peat) land yesterday. Although I’ve had it do 3t drilled in May before now so I don’t worry about getting on it early. It’s just getting the N right to keep it stood up and the machines on top if it comes wet!

Did you redrill the barley. Seen that here many times and it’s comes thru most times. Growing point will still be low enough to survive. Tough to tell from just looking but if you peel the layers back on the plant you should be able to see if the growing point is done.
