Genetic Variability, Heritability and Genetic Advance for Yield and Yield Related Traits in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Germplasm

Sixty four barley genotypes were tested in 8x8 simple lattice design at Atsbi, Ofla and Quiha environments in Tigray region, in 2009/10. The overall objective was to study the extent of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance among barley genotypes. Analysis of variance revealed that t...

Description
Summary:Sixty four barley genotypes were tested in 8x8 simple lattice design at Atsbi, Ofla and Quiha environments in Tigray region, in 2009/10. The overall objective was to study the extent of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance among barley genotypes. Analysis of variance revealed that there was a significant difference (p< 0.001) among the sixty four barley genotypes for all the characters studied, except for 1000-kernel weight at Quiha which was significant (p
