Influence of genotype on yield and quality components of durum wheat in organic production

Abstract

This paper presents the results of field experiment conducted in Backa Topola in 2010-2011 year. The aim of research is to review variability of yield and quality components of five durum wheat genotypes in organic production. The lowest variability was presented in test weight (CV=1.12%), while the highest variability was observed in grain weight per spike (CV=25.09%). Significant differences between genotypes have been presented in grain weight per spike, thousand grain weight and test weight. Highly significant and positive correlations were found between all elements of spike. Thousand grain weight was in negative correlation with grain number per spike.
