EVALUATION OF TEN BARLEY GENOTYPES UNDER NORMAL IRRIGATION AND WATER STRESS CONDITIONS
This research was conducted in order to identify the best barley genotypes that can be grown under water stress conditions. This experiment was conducted in a split plot design with three replications at Experimental Farm of Sakha Agricultural Research Station, (ARC), Egypt, during the two successive seasons 2014/15 and 2015/16. Ten barley genotypes (Giza 123, Giza 126, Giza 129, Giza 130, Giza 131, Giza 132, Giza 133, Giza 134, Giza 135 and Giza 136) were evaluated for drought tolerance by measuring yield performance under normal irrigation and water stress conditions. The results indicated that, all the studied characters were significantly affected by stress in both growing seasons, except for total chlorophyll, spike length, no of grains/spike and harvest index, in both seasons. Stress reduced grain yield (ardab/fad.) by reducing the number of spikes/m2 and 1000-kernel weight. This study showed that, the best genotypes of barley for all parameters studied under stress condition were Giza 133 followed by Giza 134 in both seasons.
