gra<strong>in</strong> yields of Thoroughbred hulled barley<br />
were 108 bushels per acre with average test<br />
weight of 45.5 pounds per bushel compared<br />
to the mean yield of 106 bushel per acre and<br />
test weight of 45.7 pounds per bushel for the<br />
mean of all cultivars tested. Three year<br />
average gra<strong>in</strong> yield of Atlantic (108 bushels<br />
per acre) was similar to Thoroughbred, 2<br />
bushels per acre higher than Nom<strong>in</strong>i (106<br />
bushels per acre), 6 bushels per acre higher<br />
than Callao and Price (102 bushels per acre).<br />
Hulled experimental l<strong>in</strong>e VA08B-85 had the<br />
highest three year average gra<strong>in</strong> yield (117<br />
bushels per acre) that was 9 bushel per acre<br />
higher than Thoroughbred and Atlantic (108<br />
bushels per acre), 11 bushels per acre higher<br />
than Nom<strong>in</strong>i , and significantly higher than<br />
Callao and Price (102 bushels per acre).<br />
However, our current focus is on a better<br />
understand<strong>in</strong>g of the genetic basis of yield<br />
potential of barley and thereby cont<strong>in</strong>ue to<br />
improve yield and value added traits of<br />
w<strong>in</strong>ter barley l<strong>in</strong>es for specific end uses.<br />
