YIELD ADVANTAGE IN F1 HYBRIDS BETWEEN SPRING AND WINTER BARLEY
Keyword(s):
Five winter barleys (Hordeum vulgare L.) of interspecific origin were crossed onto five local strains of spring barley, and F1 progeny which were evaluated under solid-seeded and spaced-planted arrangements were compared with their spring parent for yield and seed size. No significant yield advantages were detected under solid seeding. Under spaced planting, 12 of 23 hybrids significantly outyielded their respective spring parents. The levels of yield advantage, which exceeded 100% in some cases, were attributed to the genetic diversity of the parents. There was no relationship between performance of hybrids at the two rates of planting. No significant seed size advantage was observed in any of the hybrids.
