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 />
