| Title : | PRODUCTIVITY OF FOREIGN COMMON WINTER WHEAT CULTIVARS (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF DOBRUDZHA REGION |
| Abstract : | One of the main directions in common winter wheat breeding is toward achieving high results with regard to yield and production potential. An important prerequisite for this is the including in breeding of new gene plasma with variable origin adequate to the growing environments and the desired goal. The aim of this investigation was to study the productivity and the elements of yield of foreign winter wheat cultivars under the conditions of Dobrudzha region. The investigation was carried out during 2011 – 2013 in the trial field of Dobrudzha Agricultural Institute (DAI). Twenty-four cultivars of foreign origin were tested. Their yield was compared to two standards: Enola and Sadovo 1. The cultivars were planted in harvest plots each of 10 m2 in two replications. The structural elements of yield were analysed, as well as some traits and properties characterizing the variation of the separate wheat cultivars. The following traits related to productivity were investigated: vegetation period, plant height yield, number of productive tillers, grain weight per spike, number of grains per spike and 1000 kernel weight. Cultivars Kantata, Sonata, Sixtus and Podoima demonstrated highest production potential realizing a yield of more than 8 t/ha, averaged for the three years of investigation. Highest variation was observed in the traits grain weight per spike and number of grains per spike. The above mentioned genotypes are suitable cultivars which can be successfully involved in the breeding program of DAI with regard to the index yield. |
