STUDYING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COMMON AND INTRODUCTION DURUM WHEAT (TRITICUM DURUM DESF.) VARIETIES IN IRAQ IN TRAITS OF GROWTH, YIELD, AND ITS COMPONENTS. – NINEVAH PROVINCE

Abstract

This study was conducted in the agricultural season 2019/2020 in Nineveh Pronince, Tel Kaif District. The field experiment, which is a simple one-factor experiment, was carried out in a randomized complete block design, R.C.B.D. The effect of the genetic factor of twenty-eight varieties of durum wheat on traits of growth, yield and its components was studied. The most important results obtained can be summarized as follows:(1)- The durum wheat varieties (Sham 9, Sardar, LDE 357, Dor 85) were distinguished by achieving the highest rate of grain yield compared to the rest of the durum wheat varieties. (2)- The durum wheat varieties (Sham 5, Bakra Joe 1, Um Rabie, Sham9) were distinguished by achieving the highest rate of the grain test weight compared to the rest of the durum wheat varieties.
