Determination Of Yield And Some Quality Characterıstics İn Some Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Genotypes İn Diyarbakır Conditions
Abstract: This study was conducted to examine yield and quality performances of some varieties and spring wheat breeding lines obtained from both local and foreign breeding programs in Diyarbakır ecological conditions during the 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 growing seasons. Experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Plant height (m), heading time, kernel yield (kg ha-1), thousand-kernel weight (g), hectoliter weight (kg) and protein content (%) traits were evaluated in field experiments.
Significant varietal differences were found regarding to year, genotype and genotype x year interactions at level of 1%. Large variability was observed for most of the traits studied. Although grain yield ranged between 4647-7044 kg/ha, the highest grain yields were obtained from the genotypes numbered as 8, 11, 16, 18 and 25, respectively; and the lowest grain yield was obtained from the genotype numbered as 22 (464.7 kg /ha), The highest test weight value was obtained from the genotype numbered as 17 (66.3 kg /hl), while the highest protein content was obtained from the genotype numbered as 2 with % 13.8 The results of this study were promising for some genotypes brought from abroad in terms of grain yield and quality criteria.
