The variety Yousef is resistant to terminal drought and suitable for cultivation in moderate to warm areas.
Fajre is tolerant to cold, lodging and shattering, and suitable for moderate environments in Iran.
Bahman is tolerant to cold, lodging, shattering and terminal drought, and well adapted to cold areas.
Iran’s Dryland Agricultural Research Institute has reported that three other barley varieties (two winter/facultative and one spring variety), all derived from ICARDA’s nurseries, are performing consistently well in national trials.
