Abstract
The present study was conducted during season of 2017-2018 at Agricultural Research Farm, School of Agriculture, Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jagatpura, Jaipur, India. To assess individual performance in saline water conditions, ten barley cultivars were produced in the field: RD 2715, RD 2035, RD 2592, RD 2849, RD 2860, RD 2552, RD 2668, RD 2097, BH 946, RD 2052. According to the findings, out of the ten cultivars, RD 2552 considerably recorded the highest plant population, growth characteristics, and ultimately increased grain(45.21 q ha-1) as well as straw yield of barley.
