Abstract

In the peninsula de Santa Elena, the temperatures rotate about 22 ºC from may to december, where could cultivate a lot of Andean crops. The objective of this exploratory study was to verify of agronomic behavior of barley varieties: Cañicapa 03, Clipper, Grit, Metcalfe and Scarlett in three different environments: Variables evaluated: germination, tillering, jointing, heading, maturity, plant height number of tillers, spike length, number of filled and vain grains, 1 000 seed weight, yield per hectare and economic analysis. It was concluded that phonological stages are shorter on the Costa than in the mountain, being able to say that the growing cycle of the germplasm is determined by genotype-environment interaction and the varietal characteristics of each cultivar. Metcalfe, Scarlett and Clipper reached yields 3,55and 4,5 tons per ha. Production cost in Ecuadorian coast is higher than Ecuadorian Andes due in creased use of water resources
