Abstract
ICARDA has the CGIAR global mandate to breed barley varieties for the developing World. As
such, more than 250 spring and winter 2-row, 6-row and naked barley varieties of ICARDA
origin have been released in 46 countries, 51 of them in the last 10 years. Besides direct releases,
there is large evidence of the impact of ICARDA germplasm in both developed and the
developing World’s breeding programs.
For the 2023/24 cropping season, the ICARDA Global Barley Breeding Program assembled 3
new nurseries, two yield trials and one observation nursery, that represent the best elite
germplasm of all four MegaProduct Lines the program works on: Feed Barley for Arid and
Semi-Arid regions, Food and Fodder Barley, Feed and Forage Barley for Favorable
Environments and Malt and Fodder Barley.
A total of 142 sets of the nurseries have been distributed upon demand to 28 countries in North
America, South America, Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, East, West and South Africa and
West, Central and South Asia.
