Abstract:
The experiment was carried out at Agriculture Farm, Rajoula, Department of Crop Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidhayalaya, Chitrakoot, Satna (Madhya Pradesh). A field experiment was conducted to study assessment of genetic diversity and yield performance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) under rainfed condition, Ten barley genotype were taken for investigation viz., Azad, IBOH-9025, IBOH-9026, IBCB-83, Jyoti, K-409, K-909, Jagrati, IB4T-920 and K-560. The experiment was laid in randomized block design with three replications. The most desirable genotypes for other characters coupled with superior grain yield were IBOH-9025 for high 100 grain weight and plant height, Jagrati for days to flowering, Azad for maximum ear length, IBOH-9025 for maximum ear bearing tillers plant-1, Azad for number of tillers plant^-1 and maximum number of seeds ear^-1. The superior lines identified for seed yield and other characters may be utilized as donor in hybridization programme for improving the characters for which they showed deficiency.
