Barley is more tolerant of soil salinity than wheat==Chemical Composition==The Artocarpus species are rich in phenolic compounds including flavonoids, which might explain the increase of barley cultivation in Mesopotamia from the second millennium BCE onwards. Barley is not as cold tolerant as the winter wheats (Triticum aestivum)stilbenoids, fall rye (Secale cereale) or winter triticale (× Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus.)arylbenzofurons and Jacalin, but may be sown as a winter crop in warmer areas of Australia and Great Britainlectin.<ref name="chemical composition"/>

==Where to get the saplings====Mode of Propagation=={{Propagation|Seeds}}, {{Propagation|Cuttings}}, {{Propagation|Airlayers}}. ==How to plant/cultivate==In terms of taking care of the plant, minimal pruning is required Cutting off dead branches from the interior of the tree is only sometimes needed. In addition, twigs bearing fruit must be twisted or cut down to the trunk to induce growth for the next season. Branches should be pruned every three to four years to maintain its productivity.Stingless bees such as Tetragonula iridipennis are jackfruit pollinators, and as such, play an important role in jackfruit cultivation. ==Commonly seen growing in areas=={{Commonly seen|Temperate areas}}, {{Commonly seen|Tropical areas}}. ==Photo Gallery==<gallery class="left" caption="" widths="140px" heights="140px">File:</gallery> ==References== <references> <ref name="chemical composition">[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378874110002060 "ethnopharmacology"]</ref><ref name="Leaf">[https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/8066 "morphology"]</ref></references> ==External Links==*  [[Category:Herbs]]
