Abstract

A two year study (1985-1986) was conducted at the University of Al-Fateh farm, Tripoli. Libya to investigate the response of different barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) varieties and lines under saline environment. The soil types was a loamy sand, plants were irrigated with 25% diluted sea water during the experiment.

Analysis of variance showed significant differences between barley genotypes in number of seeds per head, seed weight, spike length, total plant weight, and plant height. However, the differences between entries of this experiment in grain yield per plant, number of heads per plant, and root weight were not significant. The data also showed a positive correlation between grain yield per plant, and the number of seed per head, and the total plant weight, and a negative correlation between grain yield per plant and the number of heads per plant.
