        To evaluate the  effects of primitive seed phosphorus content through different phosphorus use on parent plants on growth traits and grain yield of three barley cultivars; a research was conducted as factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications during 2012- 2013 at Dryland Agricultural Research Institute (DARI), Maragheh station, Iran. Factors were cultivars including Sahand, Abidar and Dayton and primitive seed phosphorous contents that applied in previous year on parent plants at 0, 15, 30 and 45 kg.ha-1 rates. Seed phosphorus percentage was measured in parent plants in different seasons and results showed significant difference in seed phosphorus content through different phosphorus fertilizers application in parent plants and using of 30 and 45 kg.ha-1 of phosphorus fertilizer was more effective than other treatments. Sahand × 30 kg.ha-1 combination was a superior treatment in seed phosphorus content, grain yield, productivity degree, harvest index and green cover percentage but biological yield and can be recommended in fall cultivation of rainfed barley in this and other climatically similar regions.
