Abstract
Ten genotypes of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and 10 genotypes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were grown with four types of plot borders (control, same genotype as the plot; unbordered; winter wheat; spring barley/wheat) to study the influence of plot borders on the ranking for yield of cereal genotypes. Plot yields increased as border competition decreased. However, the ranking of the different genotypes was not influenced by the type of plot border, except when a highly competitive barley genotype was used as a border with wheat. It was concluded that the type of plot border was of relatively little importance in selection for yield, as long as the border was not more competitive than the plot.Key words: Barley, wheat, plot borders, yield, plant competition, varietal ranking
