Abstract
The statistical analysis of the results of 5-year trials with brewery spring barley of F4 generation was carried out to evaluate the combining ability for yield potential and resistance to powdery mildew. For yield ca. 1000 strains obtained from crossing of 27 testers with 124 cultivars, and for resistance to powdery mildew 667 strains obtained from crossing of 18 testers with 80 cultivars, were analysed according to hierarchic design. Mean squares for years, testers, cultivars and strains were significant for both investigated traits. The analysis of variance and the effects of GCA showed a group of testers well transmitting the yield potential to progeny. These testers were: Krystal, Rubin, Ilka, Dorina, Candice, Grosso, Gimpel, Lotus and STH 126. Another group of testers, i.e. Krystal, Grosso and Rubin, caused increase of resistance to powdery mildew in their progeny. The latter were the most valuable cultivars, because they transmitted well both traits to their progeny simultaneously.
