Due to the interaction between the genotype and the growth environment, the yields of crops cultivars and lines are not the same in different environments. To obtain cultivars adaptable to different areas which have an optimal quality, 36 advanced genotypes were analyzed in two different experiments, including two control cultivars of Karkheh durum wheat and Hamoon bread wheat, in the form of Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in three iterations in the city of Iranshahr as a region to conduct the study in.
Notes were taken from different phases such as growth and development, some morphological traits, the number of days from germination to the emergence of clusters to ripening, plant height, percentage of lodging, and after harvesting, some traits such as the kernel’s color, 1000 kernel weight, yellow berry amount, etc. were determined and recorded. One kilogram of each cultivar kernel is sent to the Laboratory of Cereal Chemistry to determine the qualitative traits.
The performance and yield of the cultivars in both experiments were analyzed by variance, and then the results were ranked compared to the average yield of other stations by the Rank Method. Eighteen cultivars were selected from two experiments of ADYT-W and picked up for the final analysis of the adaptability of universal elite lines to the warm and dry climate of the South (ERDYT-W) for the next cropping season.
