Abstract:
The objectives of this study were to 1) Identify barley lines with superior forage and silage production in Texas, 2) Screen barley lines for Hessian fly resistance, and 3) Evaluate a wide-range of barley types and germplasm from Barley TCAP to identify adapted lines for feed and malting across different growing environments/climates in Texas. The initial year of screening resulted in a reduction of over 800 barley lines to 150 lines based on characteristics such as disease resistance, vernalization requirements, and grain production. In subsequent years, lines were grown at more locations and larger plots for better yield estimation and evaluated for yield and malting quality. Replicated yield trials began in the third year for forage and silage production and screening for Hessian fly resistance. The goal of these trials was to identify lines with high grain or forage production capabilities for barley production in Texas.
