Discovering the variation among genotypes is an important criterion
for selecting the suitable cultivar for a certain environment. The study aimed to
explore the genetic variation among 17 genotypes of barley based on grain yield
and some related traits. Plants were grown under field grown conditions in the
2019-2020 and 2020-2021 growing seasons, and plant height (PH), spike per
square meter (SSM), spike length (SL), spikelets per spike (NSS), seed per spike
(SPS), biological yield (BY), grain yield (GY), and thousand grain weight (TGW)
were measured. Results indicated that PH ranged (51.7 to 81.33 cm) and (58.20
to 79.90 cm), SSM (374 to 582) and (418 to 701), SL (7.10 to 9.63 cm) and (6.87
to 9.13 cm), NSS (9 to 15) and (8 to 17), SPS (21 to 49) and (21 to 51), BY (3466.7
to 5905.3 kg h-1
) and (3731.7 to 6080 kg h-1
), GY (1442 to 2192 kg h-1
) and (811.8
to 1763.7 kg h-1
), TGW (34 to 55.67 g) and (33.47 to 52.63 g) for the first and
second year of experiment respectively. The advanced lines measurement values
were higher in the second year of the experiment. It can be concluded that the
advanced lines Anka-08 and Anka-11 are promising in most of the parameters.
Some of the old and new cultivars still preserve their yield potential.
