The structure of barley varieties were studied, using structured and semi-structured queries, at Legambo, Tenta and Worailu districts of South Wollo, Ethiopia. Eight local barley varieties (Belg, Ginbot, Sene/Nech, Tikur, Holker, Traveler Tegadime and Temezhi) were identified, and got their names found on seed color and planting season. According to farmers, Tegadime is the production leader among all, but the source of seeds and the market chain are the limiting factors for its popularity and this is why it's not famous is because of the low price of the seed. Thus, Sene/Nech found to be popular and shared 46.91% at Tenta, 48.47% at Legambo and 51.55% at Wereilu followed by Tikur and Ginbote. High barley diversity was noted at Tenta (E = 0.773) followed by Wereilu (E = 0.678) and Legambo (E = 0.606). Sene/Nech (0.67), Belg (0.62), Tegadime (0.59), Tikur (0.55) and Ginbote (0.54) were found to be shared, but Traveler, Holker and Temezhi were rarely found. At farm, most farmers were plowing twice before sowing using horse. Biological fertilizer usages were well practice at Tenta, Legambo and Were'ilu, respectively. While, inorganic fertilizer usage was better at Wereilu, but none at Legambo. Pest management was better at Wereilu and hand weeding is a common system, but low at Legambo, and mowing by sickle, threshing by horse and store in Gotera were a shared practice. Farmers use outdated tools for agricultural practice and the yield is losing due to unavailable of update machinery. So, different managing approaches and new harvesting technologies should address.
在埃塞俄比亚南沃洛的莱加博、坦塔和沃莱卢地区，使用结构化和半结构化查询研究了大麦品种的结构。确定了 8 个当地大麦品种（Belg、Ginbot、Sene/Nech、Tikur、Holker、Traveler Tegadime 和 Temezhi），它们的名字来源于种子颜色和种植季节。据农民介绍，Tegadime 是所有品种中的佼佼者，但种子来源和市场链是限制其普及的因素，这也是它不那么出名的原因，因为种子价格低廉。因此，Sene/Nech 在坦塔很受欢迎，占 46.91%，在莱加博占 48.47%，在沃莱卢占 51.55%，其次是 Tikur 和 Ginbote。在坦塔（E = 0.773）发现大麦多样性较高，其次是沃莱卢（E = 0.678）和莱加博（E = 0.606）。Sene/Nech（0.67）、Belg（0.62）、Tegadime（0.59）、Tikur（0.55）和 Ginbote（0.54）被发现是共享的，但 Traveler、Holker 和 Temezhi 很少被发现。在农场，大多数农民在播种前用马犁两次地。在坦塔、莱加博和沃莱卢，生物肥料的使用情况良好。而在沃莱卢，无机肥料的使用情况较好，但在莱加博则没有。在沃莱卢，病虫害管理情况较好，人工除草是常见的系统，但在莱加博情况较差，用镰刀收割，用马打谷，存放在 Gotera 中是共同的做法。农民在农业实践中使用过时的工具，由于缺乏更新的机械，产量正在下降。因此，应该采用不同的管理方法和新的收割技术。
