Abstract
Path coefficient analysis based on the genotypic correlation between fine grain extract and 6 traits (grain filling, malt protein content, malt frafility, wort viscosity, diastatic power and fermentability) in spring brewery barley was done. The investigated material was the grain from 3 series of experiments (barley collection, first preliminary trials and second preliminary trials) performed in the years 1996-98. Highly significant positive coefficients of genotypic correlation as well as highly significant direct effects between fine grain extract and malt frafility were found. Malt frafility in the examined samples, except those from the collection, had indirect effects on protein content of malt. Path analysis showed that malt frafility may be considered as a useful trait in selecting valuable lines of spring brewery barley
