<abstract>A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 2016 at research block of Lamjung campus Lamjung to evaluate the effect of different genotypes on growth and yield of barley in mid-hill of Nepal. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) involving twelve genotype treatments i.e. B86157-1-1-5-0-oK (T1), B86099-5-oK (T2), B90K-024-1-1-2-oK (T3), CoQ/ KI/ Descii (T4), MATICO ‘S’ (T5), B86152-2-2-0-oK (T6), ARVPO’S’/MOY (T7), Bonus STD check (T8), Xveola-23 (T9), LG- 51/ XVeola-5-77 (T10), XVeola-12 (T11) and XVeola-15 (T12) and replicated thrice. B86152-2-2-0-oK were found significant in growth, yield attributes and yield of barley. Effective tiller/m<sup>2 </sup>(143.3) and grain yield (1657 kg/ha) was obtained maximum with genotype B86152-2-2-0-oK followed by other pipeline varieties and minimum yield was obtained from treatment T4 (629 kg/ha). The genotype B86152-2-2-0-oK had better performance in terms of growth and yield of Mid hill condition. Correlation studied shows that spike length, biomass and straw yield, thousand grain weight and number of grain per spike positive and significant association with grain yield so these traits used for selection for yield improvement program.</abstract>
