The study titled “Evaluation of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Genotypes for growth Yield and Yield-Attributing Traits in the North East Plain Zone of Uttar Pradesh” was conducted during the Rabi season of 2023-24. The research aimed to identify the best-performing barley genotypes and estimate genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance and correlation coefficients. Twenty barley genotypes, including one check variety, were evaluated for 23 quantitative traits, such as Field emergence, plant height, lodging percentage, flag leaf length and Breadth, spike length, peduncle length, awn length, number of tillers, canopy temperature, days to heading and maturity, spikelets per spike, grains per spike, grain yield per plant and per plot, test weight biomass and grain yield per hectare. Significant variation was observed among the genotypes for all traits. Six-row barley genotypes outperformed two-row genotypes in yield. Notably, genotype IBT-13 achieved the highest yield per plot (191.20 g), surpassing the check variety IBT-17 (175.07 g per plot).
