The Study of lines and Different Cultivars of Barley in Terms of Germination Index in Laboratory Condition

Barley is one of the most important grains and essential resources for provide animal food and human in the world. This study was conducted in a randomized complete block design (CRD) with three replications at the Agricultural Laboratory of Islamic Azad University of Ardabil. Analysis of variance results showed that there were significant differences between lines in terms of the all evaluated traits at 1% level. Results of data indicated that the range of variation Germination Rate Index (GRI) between the lines and studied cultivars from 9.35 percent (line 6) to 3.72 (line number 28) was variable. Also results showed that the Coefficient of Velocity of Germination (CVG), line 34 with the mean of 16.40 had highest value and was in class A. The results also showed that in terms of germination rate (Rs) line 8 with an average of 0.1246 was the top line; in front line 34 with a mean of 0.1640 accounted the lowest germination rate.
