  Central highlands of Ethiopia have immense potential for barley production and processing having not only suitable growing climatic and edaphic factors but also accessible markets as brewery factories are highly confined in the area. However, farmers have adopted production of local and food varieties with poor productivity. An experiment was conducted to select well performed, adaptable, high yielding and disease resistant varieties. Significantly lower AUDPC values of 78.63%, 90.77%, 108.97% and 355.37% were obtained from Ibon-174/03, EH-1847, Miscal-21 and Traveller varieties, respectively, while significantly higher AUDPC values of 2150.05%, 2074.33%, 1472.22% were recorded from Grace, Moeta and Bahati verities, respectively at Dege. Whereas, no visible symptoms were observed from Ibon-174/03, EH-1847 and Miscal-21 varieties at Wachale. The combined analysis of variance showed tha.. View more»
