Determination of Yield and Some Quality Characteristics of Some Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Cultivars in Tokat-Kazova Conditions

The research was conducted to determine yield, yield components and some quality characters of some barley cultivars in Tokat-Kazova conditions during 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 growing seasons. In the study, 12 two-row, 4 six-row barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars were planted as a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications, as winter crop. In the results of research average of two years of cultivars heading period 133.4 day, lodging rate 13.1%, plant height 94.4 cm, the number of spike per square meter 511 number, the number of kernels per spike 34.2 number, single spike yield 1.35 g, thousand seed weight 35.2 g, test weight 63.7 kg, grain yield 3161 kg ha(-1) and harvest index 32.4% was determined. Significant differences were determined among barley cultivars in investigated traits. Also, significant differences were determined among years in terms of other investigated traits except for the number of spike per square meter. According to the results obtained from the research, it was determined that the prominent Hasat, Bolayir and Harman cultivars in terms of grain yield, Yalin and Onder cultivars in terms of thousand seed weight and test weight, that these cultivars can be recommended for barley production areas in Tokat-Kazova conditions.
