“…It is one of the oldest food crops that have been cultivated since the dawn of civilization. Due to its extremely resistant character, barley is effectively grown in a variety of topographical environments, including plains and hilly locations, under rained and irrigated conditions and severe agro environments such as drought, salt, alkalinity, etc... Because of its input requirements and the superior capacity to withstand severe environments, barley is typically regarded as a poor man's crop (Kumar et al, 2012).
