Fifty two genotypes of barley were investigated for variability,
character association and,path analysis for grain yield and its
components. The data were recorded for days to 50% fowering, days
to maturity, plant height, number of tillers per plant, spike length,
grains per spike, 1000 grain weight, biological yield per plant, harvest
index and grain yield per plant. Estimates of broad sense heritability
were high for all traits except days to maturity, number of tillers per
plant and, grain yield per plant. High heritability estimates coupled
with moderate genetic advance as percentage of mean were recorded
for biological yield per plant, grains per spike, plant height and days
to 50% fowering. From path analysis recorded the highest positive
direct effect of days to 50% fowering, biological yield per plant and
lowest due to days to maturity on grain yield.
