Singitan (IBON-MRA
P#26) is two-row malt type barley developed from introduced exotic
germplasm and released in 2016 for highland areas of Bale. The new
variety was tested along with the two standard checks (Bekoji-1, and
Holker) at four environments during 2013 to 2014 cropping seasons. The
two consecutive year’s data proved its superiority in grain yield
performance, stability, and wide adaptation. The new variety has good
protein content, good physical grain quality, moderate resistance to
common leaf diseases and scald, moderate tolerance to barley shoot fly
and lodging resistance. The variety Sing it an demonstration and seed
multiplication is underway. Hence, cultivation of the new variety in the
higher altitude areas of major barley growing environments of the
country is highly recommended.
