This study was conducted to compare the performance of promising barley lines under farmers’ field conditions and also to acquaint farmers, experts and promoters with the characteristics of these lines. The project was carried out under two locations on-farm in Estahban and Larestan of Fars province in the 2020-2021 cropping season. The studied lines included WB-96-10, WB-96-17, WB-96-18 and WB-96-19, and Oksin was considered as the check cultivar of the warm and dry zone. Seeds were sown in the first half of December. The area of experimental plots for each genotype was 2000 square meters. The average yield of Oksin, WB-96-10, WB-96-17, WB-96-18 and WB-96-19 in Estahban and Larestan regions were 3234, 2241, 2640, 2370 and 2009 kg ha-1, respectively. The average performance of the two regions showed that none of the lines were superior to the Oksin check in terms of grain yield. During the growing season, a group of farmers and agricultural jihad experts visited the experiment.
