Abstract: In IPGR – Sadovo are studied 26 two-row barley cultivars with different geographic origin. The results were processed with statistical package SPSS modules with a single factor variance and cluster analysis. It was found that explore the varieties of two-row barley show different values for crude protein content and yield. Some of them Targhee, Vodka, Cameo, Alize, Camelia can be used to improve grain quality in different breeding programs. Klages and Biser, which have the highest crude protein content are suitable for establishment of varieties in the breeding of barley for feed. In combining selection for improving quantitative traits can be successfully included cultivars Alexis, Camelia, Vanesa, Aster and Potok.
