Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
16 Barley (Hordeum vulgare) genotypes, namely G30, G54, G65, G74, G77, G83, G94, G98, G116, G119, G126, G127, G142, G144, G154 and G169, were subjected to adequate irrigation during their growing season and to drought only during spike development stage, to evaluate the performance of 16 barley genotypes in relation to their drought resistance capabilities. The obtained results showed that droughted leaves substantially reduced water holding capacity (WHC) by 120.44% as compared to irrigated barley leaves. On the other hand drought highly increased leaf area and leaf length by 15.1 and 9.7, respectively. The best performed barley genotypes under both irrigation and drought can be put in the following sequenced order: G54, G116, G127 G30> G77, G74, G94, G98, G144, G169, G126> G154, G G142, G65> G119, G83. Performance superiorities of irrigated barley genotypes can be ordered as follow: G54, G30, G98 G154 and G116> G126, G65, G94 and G142> G74, G119, G144 and G127> G77, G169 and G83. On the other hand the superiority order under drought was as follow: G30, G54 and G142> G116 and G127> G74, G77 and G169> G65, G83, G94, G98, G119, G126, G144 and G154.
