Abstract

Utilization of conserved germplasm after assessing their level of diversity enables breeders by providing option of selection. Furthermore, exploiting existed genetic resources will enable us to increase production and secure food security in the era of climate change. In this regard 64 landrace barley accession and 3 released variety evaluated for eight quantitative traits in southern Ethiopia in 2019. The experiment was laid down in augmented block design with three standard checks which replicated in each block. The analysis of variance of eight quantitative traits indicated that there were significant differences (P < 0.05) between tested genotypes except for days to 75% maturity and plant height. Grain yield ranges from 20.72 to 57.33 quintals ha-1. The highest grain yield was harvested from Chefo (released variety). Nevertheless, the highest grain yield was measured from the one improved variety; 43 of the farmer’s varieties were above the two improved verities. The principal component analysis resulted in two principal components (PC1 to PC2) with eigenvalues ranged from 1.74 to 4.30 containing variability of 21.80% and 53.77% respectively. The genotypes were broadly grouped into two distinct clusters. The first cluster contains 44 (65.67%) genotypes and the second cluster includes 23 (34.33%) genotypes including two of the improved varieties. Generally, the study showed the hidden potential of farmers’ varieties accessions in improving yield through the utilization of conserved germplasm.
