THE RESPONSE OF A NEW WHEAT LINE OBTAINED IN THE PEDOCLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF A.R.D.S. - ALBOTA

Wheat is one of the most important cultivated plants of major importance in the food industry. Bread is obtained from its grains, which is a staple food for the world's population, as it provides many nutrients, being a rich source of carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins. The aim of this work was to compare the wheat line A4-10, obtained at the Agricultural Research Development Station Albota with 24 wheat genotypes, which are in the national list of varieties, in the pedoclimatic conditions of the station, in order to obtain a winter wheat variety with superior qualities. Winter wheat, of all cereals, has the longest growing season, covering all seasons, climatic conditions differ from one season to another. That is why the morphological characters of the A4-10 line, obtained in the crop year 2002, were analyzed, compared to the 24 varieties and lines, namely: plant height, length of spikelets, number of spikelets, number of grains in the spikelet, weight and production.
