Abstract
The type of distribution of single plant yields asmeasured by the k and g statistics was determined for four varieties and four F2 crosses of barley The varieties and F2 crosses differed significantly in mean yield and the varieties differed significantly in variance of plant yields within plots The distribution curves were positively skew but lacked kurtosis The degree of skewness between varieties or crosses did not vary significantly The variation in yield of single plants in spaced progeny rows is determined almost completely by environmental factors
