Abstract
Analysing the yield performance of the genotypes (durum wheat and barley) on the farm.
During the third season of the MountainHER project, from October 2024 to August 2025, a set of
genotypes of two (02) crops (durum wheat and barley), including one or two cheks (commercial and
landrace Durum Wheat for Algeria and local check for the otherspartners), as shown (Table 1), were
planted on several farms in these countries (Italy, Croatia, Morocco, Algeria and Lebanon and Tunisia)
under different agro-ecological and farming practices.
It should be noted that an old variety and a commercial check, potentially more productive, were also
added as "local" varieties for each farmer's site and for each country.
This comprehensive study was undertaken to analyse the yield performance of different wheat and
barley varieties grown at farm level in different countries, each with different plot sizes and
management practices.
The main objective was to identify the best and worst performing varieties on each farm and the
potential implications for optimising yields in different agri-environmental contexts.
The results of the study highlight the existence of substantial variability in crop performance as a
function of variety, which could open up important perspectives for variety selection in the context of
sustainable agricultural practices.
