Multi-Year Assessment of Quality Parameters in Bread Wheat Cultivars under Karacabey Ecological Conditions

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a strategic cereal crop whose technological quality is strongly influenced by both genetic background and environmental factors. This study aimed to evaluate the quality performance of five bread wheat cultivars grown under the ecological conditions of Karacabey, Bursa, during the 2023 and 2024 production seasons. Field trials were conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications, and standard agronomic practices were applied. Grain quality traits including protein content, wet and dry gluten, Gluten Index, Zeleny and delayed sedimentation, SDS-sedimentation, Falling Number, hectoliter, and moisture content were determined according to international standard methods (ICC, AACC). Analysis of variance revealed highly significant (P
