Table 2. Means ± standard deviations and range of values for six agronomic traits for 292 barley accessions in two growing seasons (2009/2010 and 2010/2011).

Because 19 and 21 barley accessions did not head in 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 growing seasons, respectively, measurements of three yield related traits—spike length (SL in cm), number of grains per spike (NGS) and 1000-grain weight (TKW in g)—were conducted for only 273 and 271 barley accessions for the two seasons, respectively.
