Abstract

The existence of genetic diversity is very essential in identifying possible genotypes for further crop improvement. One hundred thirty-five landrace barley accessions and three released varieties were evaluated for their genetic variability and the preliminary performance for agronomic importance traits using augmented block design during the 2019 main cropping season under rain-fed condition. Data were recorded from nine quantitative characters and analysis of variance indicated the presence of significant variations at (P<0.01) between the tested genotypes for days to 50% flowering, number of tillers per plant, spikelet per spike and thousands seed weight. The phenotypic and genetic coefficients of variations ranged from 11.19 to 38.84% and 3.77 to 33.87%, respectively. Both coefficients of variations had high values for the number of spikelets per spike, number of kernels per spike and grain yield. Broad sense heritability ranged from 11.35% to 98.01% and all traits had high heritability except plant height which had low heritability. Also, the genetic advance as per cent of mean ranged from 2.6 (plant height) to 67.35% (kernel per spike), respectively. Generally, the study revealed the existence of a wide range of variability among the studied barley genotypes which has paramount importance for further exploitation of genotypes for their important traits to enhance the breeding program of barley in the country.
