Evaluation of Yield and Quality Characteristics of Bread Wheat Genotypes Grown in the Typic Haploxerert Subgroup Soils

Abstract

This study was carried out in order to determine the grain yield and some quality characteristics of three different wheat varieties (Golya. Secretariat, Syrena Odeska) during two years in the soils of Typic Haploxerert subgroup in the dry conditions of Trakya Region, Turkey. The quality characteristics as grain yield and protein amount, text weight, 1000 grain weight, moisture content, gluten content, gluten index, normal sedimentation value, retired sedimentation value was examined in the study. The difference between wheat varieties grown in the soil of Typic Haploxerert subgroup was found to be statistically significant in terms of grain yield, moisture content, gluten content, protein amount, normal sedimentation and retired sedimentation values in the first year and the Secretaria and Syrena Odeska varities gave the high results. There was no difference between wheat varieties in text weight and 1000 grain weight in the first year. The protein content was found to be statistically significant in Golya and Secretariat varieties and the grain yield was found to be important in Golya and Syrena Odeska varieties in the second year. There was no difference between wheat varieties in text weight and 1000 grain weight, moisture content and gluten index in the second year. As a result, it has been revealed that there may be differences between wheat varieties grown in the same soil in terms of soil requirements and environmental factors, with differences in yield and quality parameters.
