Four genetically diverse varieties and lines of six-rowed and two-rowed barley were diallel crossed. In the inheritance of stem height in F1 and F2 generations and grain mass per plant dominant genes have greater effect, with over-dominance prevailing in most of the cross combinations. In the inheritance of the primary spike length as well as the number of spikelets per spike as to the F1, additive and non-additive genes play a significant role with the prevalence of additive ones, the mode of inheritance being partial dominance for greater spike length and greater number of spikelets in spike, respectively. The highest value of general combining ability was found in the variety NS-293 as regards spike length. High values for heritability were obtained for spike length (63.3) and grain mass per plant (70).
