Abstract

Sixty four released varieties of barley collected from Directorate of Wheat Research, Karnal were grown underpartially reclaimed saline- sodic soil, under irrigated conditions during Rabi 2010-11showing wide spectrum ofvariation for various characters. The characters studied were yield and yield contributing traits; namely plantheight, days to maturity, fertile tillers plant-1, length of main spike, grains per main spike, 1000-grains weight,grain yield plant-1. The data on 7 characters was utilized for estimation of mean, range and least significantdifferences. The varieties RD 2552, HBL 276, RD 2592, PL 419, Kedar, PL751, JB 58, K 508 produced highergrain yield plant-1 and showed high to very high mean performance for several other yield component also.
