| Abstract: |
Barley is an important winter cereal crop in Jumla (2240-3000 masl), Nepal. It is grown in
different cropping patterns in both Khet and Bari land conditions. A total of 207 accessions
of barley landraces collected from various locations of Jumla were studied for agromorphological
characteristics in Khumaltar and Jumla. Data on eight qualitative and five
quantitative traits in 2-m row plot were recorded to assess diversity among the landraces.
Bhuwali, Chawali, Lekali and Pawai were four farmer-named traditional barley varieties
under cultivation in Jumla. A range of variability was observed among the accessions of
barley landraces. All accessions are six-row covered barley possessing rough awns and
whitish-brown grains. These landraces exhibit a range of variation in growth class, spike
density and rachilla hair length. Lekali and Pawai are adapted to the high-altitude area of
Jumla. Cluster analysis of measured data under on-farm and on-station conditions indicated
five distinct clusters. Three principal components explained 84.3% and 60.2% of the total
variation from on-station and on-farm, respectively. |
