Comparison of the Agricultural Characteristics of Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes based on Irrigated Conditions in Different Locations

Abstract

This study was performed under irrigated condition of Diyarbakir and Sanliurfa provinces, Turkey in the 2013-2014 production season to determine superior wheat genotypes for irrigated or high rainfall areas and contribute breeding programs. Experiments was designed according to the random blocks trial pattern with four replications. Performance of genotypes for examined traits was found statically different at level of p≤ 0.01. According to ranking biplot analyse G9 was the most stable genotype for grain yield and G11 for seed protein content. Advansed lines, G9, G11 and G17 were determined as supeior genotypes for grain yield and quality traits compare to cultivars that used as a national checks. These advanced lines could be used as genitor in breeding programs to improve high quality and yielding varieties for irrigated conditions.
