15 Jan D.W.R.B.101: Malt barley for irrigated, timely sown conditions of NWPZ
डी.डब्लू.आर.बी. 101: सिंचित क्षेत्र एवं समय पर बुआई के लिए माल्ट जौ की उन्नत किस्म। DWRB101 (DWR28 / BH581) is a new malt barley variety, which was developed using pedigree method at DWR, Karnal. The variety was identified for irrigated timely sown conditions of North Western Plains Zone (NWPZ) during 53rd All India Coordinated Wheat and Barley Worker’s Meet held at JNKVV, Jabalpurduring 22-25 Aug. 2014. DWRB101 was tested at a total of 31 locations with four checksviz. DWRUB52 and DWRB92 (both two-row type) and K 551 and BH 902 (both six-row type) under coordinated evaluation trials. DWRB101 exhibited average grain yield as 5010 Kg/ha (mean of 31 trials over 3 years). DWRB101 depicted superiority in grain yield over two-row malt barley checks DWRUB52 (6.6%), DWRB92 (4.8%) and six-row checks K551 (15.2%) and BH902 (7.7%), respectively. In agronomical trials, at recommended N dose, the proposed variety DWRB101 showed numerical superiority for grain yield over both two-row malt barley checks i.e. DWRUB52 (6.88 %) and DWRB92 (1.86%), respectively. DWRB101 is erect type in growth habit with mean maturity of about 132 days and having average plant height of 97 cm. Spikes are erect, tapering type in shape with rudimentary lateral florets. Grains are bold with medium hard texture, oblong shaped and yellow in colour with 46.9g 1000 grain...
