Comparative Analysis of Soft Wheat Varieties

This study focuses on the comparative evaluation of two soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties "Lucilla" and "Midas" introduced from Turkey, against selected local wheat cultivars under the agroclimatic conditions of Azerbaijan.Given the increasing importance of wheat production in ensuring national food security, identifying high-yielding, stress-tolerant, and adaptable varieties has become a critical objective.The research aims to assess key agrobiological traits such as growth period, plant height, yield components, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stress factors.Field experiments were conducted under local farming conditions to determine the productivity and environmental adaptability of these varieties.The findings are expected to reveal the potential of "Lucilla" and "Midas" for broader application in Azerbaijan's wheat production systems and to offer recommendations for their use in breeding programs or direct cultivation in stress-prone regions.
