Abstract	Male-sterile barley was used for the production of hybrid seeds by mass pollination technics The F1 progeny were subsequently tested for yield and other manifestations of heterosis The seven different pollen parents crossed with male-sterile showed appreciable differences in combining ability with an average yield advantage over both parents of more than 20% The experiments suggest a workable method of evaluating the yield transmitting qualities of varieties through tests of their F1 hybrids
